Aww' date=' I hope you feel better. And I pray you don't have a stomach virus. Take it as easy as you possibly can.

I had some Campbell's 98% fat free cream of chicken Soup mixed with a can of skim milk for dinner. Had to strain it cause there are small pieces of chicken in it but it was really good! I had half of it for dinner and will have the other half tomorrow.

My Protein mix is 27 g and then I add 8 oz. of skim milk for another 8 g of Protein so I only need 2 a day but I just find them disgusting.

Btw, I pooped again today. It was the highlight of my day, lol!! How sad! :-)

Lol! I how sad is it when pooping and farting become the highlight of our day!! I thought I was going to need stool softeners but I had diarrhea earlier. Not sure but I am wondering if diarrhea is the normal poop when you are on liquids?

I do not use the chocolate Protein Shakes because they are very constipating. I also take stool softeners daily with a cup of prune juice and it works fine!

I'm wondering if that's how it is too!! Ive had nothing even near solid, so poop shouldn't be solid!? It makes sense to me!

I'm getting nervousness cause I have to go back to work Tommoro! And I don't sit at a desk! I work at Starbucks, and I'm on my feet 8 hrs!! I know my crew Tommoro night will understand if I need to sit down more than usual. Since I'm one of the managers, I'm sure it doesn't matter what they say, but I don't want to look weak to them!

I also have my post op visit Tommoro with my doc. Since I had fever on Monday, he wants to see me sooner than later to make sure the incisions aren't infected. Hope that goes well!

When do you return to work?

I am a stay at home mom, although both my kids are school age. You will most definitely need to sit down to take breaks throughout the day, even though standing feels better on your tummy. I went to costco today and had to sit down cause I suddenly became tired and dizzy. It passed after about 5 minutes. I know you don't want them to think you are weak but you have been through some major stuff this past week and the fever alone could make you weak so you need to take it easy. Otherwise, you will be forced to take a few more days off. Will it be hard for you to be around the Desserts at Starbuck's? I used to love to go there, and I don't drink coffee!! :-)

We go to WDW (Florida) every year but this year we skipped and now I am having withdrawals.

Btw, the last time I went to Starbucks (a few weeks ago) I think I had a pumpkin muffin.

Lol. Luckily I hate cranberries.

Btw, have you had any yogurt yet? I was hoping I could try it soon. Not a fan necessarily but would rather do that than a shake.

No I haven't had yogurt. My doctor told me today to stay on liquids for 1 more week! Then I can move to softer stuff, like tuna and scrambled eggs. I'm getting such of these Protein shakes too!!! Can't wait till next Thursday for some chewing action!!

Oh and I'm at work right now and DYING!! I can't believe how bad I feel. I haven't worn a bra in 6 days, so my shoulders are dying, and my bra is digging into 1 of my incisions. I keep having to sit down, I feel like such a loser! Idk how I'm Ganna do Tommoro! I work 9-4! Ahhhh!

I went to Wal Mart and bought a cheap set (3) for $10. They're all cotton, no underwire. Very similar to those bras that you work out with. fruit of the Loom makes them. Not a ton of support but they're not cutting into my incisions either.

I hope tomorrow finds you better. (((Hugs)))

      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.
