Starting my two day Clear liquids pre-op diet tomorrow. Not looking forward to that, but I don't think I'll have a problem considering the horror stories I've heard about liver bruising and bleeding. I've been eating low carb for six weeks, so I should be okay. :)

Anyways, nice to meet everyone and I look forward to future threads! :grouphug:

I foresee a lot of sugar free JELL-O and popsicles.

Thanks!

Well, I'm not really even hungry. It's weird. I do keep walking by the fridge though wanting to pull something out of it besides JELL-O. :thumbup:

Well, I got it. Yesterday was a little rough but the liquid Lortab took the edge off. Today I'm feeling much better and as promised, I'm not hungry which is a good thing since I'm clear liquids for a few more days followed full liquids, then soft foods, etc. The worst part has been crushing up my HBP medication so I could take it. Disgusting. :laugh: Hopefully, I won't need it too much longer. :thumbdown:

The doc said my liver was a bit big which I don't understand since I thought I followed his instructions to the letter. I guess I was doing something wrong though. Oh well, it wasn't bad enough for him to pull out luckily.

Great mews. Synastar!

Don't worry about the liver, since it's all over now!

What's HBP medication? (I should probably know, but drawing a blank?)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
