What a picture that would be!!! Oh Jennye, I hope by now you have some relief. Gas-X helped somewhat, but my bloating was never in the intestinal tract, or at least it felt like it was more in my upper parts. To be honest, I was a little afraid of PFing (as opposed to PBing) with all the Clear Liquids I was consuming. Never felt cleaner in my life!!! This phase doesn't last long - it just seems like forever. I found that besides walking, doing some mild exercises moved things along quicker. Tomorrow should be a better day - and no balloon popping!:D :D :D

Well I'm up again and starting to feel a bit better...I'm going to ask my bestfriend to bring me some gas-ex when she comes over in the morning...I'm trying to chock down my Jello every few hours but I'm just not hungry...still keeping up my Water intake...it's hard when you feel so bloated to eat and drink...oh...and I went to McDonalds twice on my way home yesterday...once to get a small coffee and the next time to use the bathroom...I can't believe it...first time in my life I didn't eat there...LOL...

      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.
