O.K.! WHEW! Can get confusing.......

First of all you need to stay on liquids for 3 days, then 1 day of mushies then try to eat when the swelling subsides. If that doesn't work, call your Surgeon.

Protein is a must for life. So try something different. You say you can eat Soup. I'm betting it's warm Soup. Do the same with your shakes. Use warm tap Water. Nothing Cold it won't go down, and it can just sit in that pouch for a while which does hurt.

So stay on liquids for a few days, go out and try a sample type of Protein Drink to see if it's better.

.

We were told not to Drink whey Product, because if you drink to much, it can be fattening. I have no idea if it is true, I'll have to read the container one day and see how much Protein is in it.

But that's my 2 cents.

Good Health to you, Shirley.

I think you are too full. Sometimes that subsides a couple days after you get your fill. Remember, you do not want to be too tight, it can cause you get stuck and lead to throwing up and slippage. Be really careful for a couple of days and if it doesn't get better you should have a little taken out. Keep up the good work!

I think you are drinking your Protein Shakes too cold. I can't drink anything cold or with ice. It has to be room temperature.

It sounds to me as if you are too tight. If you are still having a problem, I would get 1/2 cc removed. My office doesn't charge me if I have it done within a week. You should, also, try stay on Clear Liquids for a day or 2. My surgeon wants clear for 2 days, then full for 2 days. No mushies or food until 5 day. Hope that helps. Good luck Karen

      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.
