You should talk to your doctor about that. Everyone's diet is different, so what's good for one may not be good for the other. My doctor required 5 days post op of Clear Liquids and then 2 weeks of shakes. Don't take anyone but your doctors advice unordered to ensure you are properly following their guidelines. I'm 10 days post op and hungry also. Keep pushing, you WILL get through this!

Listen to your doctor but get your butt out of bed. That I can tell you. A bed is not your friend after surgery.

Walk as much as you can but don't over do it. Everyone is different the day of surgery I went to Target and walgreens the next day work. yesterday the mall. Once you start walking it feels so much better the most painful part is starting to walk right out of bed but be strong and hang in there

      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.
