It's not so much how much you drink but how fast. Drinking a lot of liquid is good for you but sip it, don't chug. Now that I have restriction, if I take too big of a drink I can feel it sitting above my band and then go through. It's a weird feeling and a reminder I need to slow it down.

Does your doctor have a nutritionist you can meet with? That helped me a lot w/ understanding how to eat, what to eat, etc. and how to treat my new baby pouch! ;)

Everything has been said already. I wanna wish you luck. Every day is a new day to start over. Great that you are back on the bandwagon so to speak.

Go slow and ask your dr for instructions today don't wait for your next appointment and do research. There are a lot more rules.

Just remember to take things slow cause you may feel good but your body needs time to heal.

It's a shame you weren't given more instruction... But liquids for 2 weeks is the norm... I was on Clear Liquids for the first week then creamy liquids the 2nd week. The cream would be like Soups with no meat or noodles, protien shakes... Yogurt with no fruit or goodies in them.... That sort of thing. Try to limit your calories during this time so you still lose... My dr had me on 1200 which was almost impossible. I just couldn't eat that much. Then the third week I was on mushies... Which is basically anything you can mush up in a blender ...I avoided meats except chicken salad and tuna basically because blended burgers just looked too gross. Lol. Avoid breads and anything crunchy. Applesauce, mashed potatoes and foods easily digestsble work well. But even during that stage I had no more than 3 oz protien, 1/4 c starch and 1/2 c of veggies at each meal.... Which totaled 1000 calories.

Dont hesitate to call your drs office if you hav questions or feel you need more instruction. That's what they are there for.

True Results have patient advocate and nutritionist on staff, give them a call and ask for more information.

I went through True Results in Austin and got arm loads of information regarding the diets.

Good luck to you.

      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.
