I drank plenty of Crystal lights all flavors and I put the drink in a glass and in the freezer to make a icy slushy drink. Taste great. I added some dice dried onions in my broth to flavor it a bit.

.gasx, heating pad, laxative and rest all help with the discomfort. Make your own chicken broth cambells has a lot of creamed Soup with water..and all the drinks meantion earlier. Welcome to the club we are excited to have you here.

I had my surgery on yesterday and was really afraid, because of what I heard about the gas pains. I am pleased to announce I have not experienced any gas pains yet, I am taking the liquid pain medication because of the incisions....

I have been sipping on chicken broth, V8, Water and today I had a Protein shake. So far so good...

      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.
