I'm feeling pretty good just exhausted, it's no joke when they say they make you walk every 2 hours even at night. I am having some gas pains around my tummy and I am very sore. I was able to drink fine this morn and I ate some puréed chicken and green Beans for lunch. It was 2oz of meat and 1/2 cup veggies and I could barely get halfway through. Not drinking with my meal was a tough adjustment. I kept instinctively reaching for the cup lol. I am soooooo happy I made this decision. It still seems so unreal.

you are still extremely swollen from surgery and am surprised you are eating...a lot of us was on liquids for 1 to 2 weeks after.....i suggest to sip slowly and keep on sipping to allow you insides to heal..as the swelling subsides, you will be able to eat/drink more/better.....but for heaven sakes, dont rush anything (even if you saw it elsewhere)...take care and rest when you need to

They had us eat eggs and drink before leaving hospital. I'm allowed mushie puréed foods only for one month. I'm ok eating but I eat about 2-3 tablespoons of food and then I can't eat anymore. food is staying down well. It's the gas and the soreness that's getting me.

I'm day 2 post op and on straight liquids. I too am surprised your eating so soon... Take it easy. I have been using the chewable gas x tablets and that has helped me.

      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.
