I think I may have consumed less during the first 4 days post up than I was supposed to eat in a day. It's normal. Your appetite will return soon.

I think maybe you need to force yourself to get a little nourishment...I had ALL of the same things as you at the same time...I felt like hell! I quit the pain meds as they were tooo strong for me as well as forced my self to get a little pudding, Jello or what it is you are to eat. I felt better the first day after getting some liquid food down and also the headache went away after that. I think your whole body is in shock from surgery alone, that time of month and lack of food combined...just a suggestion for you -maybe it will help you also

didja ever hear the term"when it rains it pours?", Its the bodies way of just gettin this sht outta the way. I swear by chicken boullion cubes dissolved in hot hot Water.and motrin,(or in this case one of yer pain pills, cause ya cant take motrin or advil, whatever is allowed for crampy achey) for just about everything. Heating pad, most worn out clean nightie, blanket and good book, remote in hans, and some cold cold Water standin by, then luxuriate in the comfort and feel better please.

Try it, it might help. sincerely, Sandy

keeping feet up should slow down your flow and some chicken broth nice and hot makes everyone feel better. I made a hug pot before surgery and was so glad I did when I csme home. Call your doctor about the headache its probably from the pain meds and they can give you another. Heating pad was my life saver as well as gasx and a laxative to get things moving.....it will get better .....line dancer

      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.
