So far, everything is fine. I don't have a headache, and my stomach isn't hurting as bad as I expected. I am hungry and yes, I do have cravings, but they're manageable. Is this a good sign? Or do the hunger pangs usually come later; like on day 2 and 3? I'm trying to remain positive, but I'm still worried that maybe the hunger pangs will sneak up on me, lol. >_< I've heard many people say that day 1 and 2 are the worst, and that by day 5, the hunger usually completely goes away.

This is what I've had so far:
Breakfast - 1 Muscle Milk Protein Shake (20g Protein, 130 calories), 1 Light & Fit Yogurt (70 calories)
lunch - 1 Muscle Milk Protein shake, 1 Light & Fit Yogurt, 1 cup of Cream of chicken Soup (Diluted with Water and spit out the chicken, lol. -_-)
dinner - I haven't had dinner yet, but I plan on drinking another Muscle Milk with a yogurt, and maybe some chicken broth. I may go to bed early so I can avoid the cravings, haha. :rolleyes: Good thing I don't get burnt out on things in just a week. So, drinking Muscle Milk and yogurt will be pretty easy, especially since they taste amazing.

I've love to hear your experiences.

Thank goodness I only have to do this for 1 week. ;-)

EDIT: I swallowed a few very tiny pieces of chicken when I was eating my cream of chicken soup. Is this ok? Next time I will strain the soup.

I am on day two of the liquid pre-op. They tell me no caffeine, but herbal teas are ok. I accidentally had tea with caffeine, and I feel awesome.

How strict is this no caffeine rule? I'm gonna try to follow it, but man was it nice.

I think it's more important post-op (dehydration) but you can cut down gradually pre-op.

Day 1 liquid diet for me and the caffeine withdrawal is almost unbearable. No idea it would be this hard to wean off soda.

See, I don't have this problem with caffeine. I drink it all the time, but going without it doesn't bother me. I don't know if it's because I take adderall or what. Did your doctor tell you absolutely no caffeine?

Hahaha! I know, right! The caffeine rule for me isn't that strict. They told me to limit it as much as possible, but I'm avoiding it completely since I don't usually have withdrawals from being without it.

I start my liquid diet in 2 weeks, what's the importance of no caffeine? My nutritionist didn't really go into it.

No caffeine postop because it can cause ulcers and dehydration. I believe they recommend weaning off of it preop so you're not dealing with caffeine withdrawal after surgery.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
