Right now you Need to worry about healing properly. Your Body is going to take a few weeks to adjust to these changes and you may even gain a few pounds. It's totally okay your body needs to flush out all the junk from surgery and get used to the new you. Just stay on the diet plan advised by your doc and it will all start to fall into place. Best of luck to you and congrats :)

Have you arranged follow up with a local physician and nutritionist. If not that should be your first step. I don't know if the foreign drs give you post op instruction but I would think you should still be on liquids this soon after surgery. Can you give us soe more info and maybe we can help?

Yes they gave me all the tools to get started. Dr. Almanza was great. I still have pain in my left shoulder. Does the port have anything to do with this pain? The port is on my left side as well. Or is it just gas!!!!

Pain in the shoulder area is most likely gas. Walking is the best remedy. The port is most likely near your belly button or mid tummy area..

      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.
