Yes. I would love to keep in touch for support' date=' to track progress and stay motivated.

I wishi could drink like you are. I'm dying. Lol. Good thing the liquid diet has prepared my body for this fast.

My port site is Extra sensitive as well. But I'm trying not to concentrate on that. Staying positive will help us heal faster ;) i hope you get comfortable and plenty of rest. :)[/quote']

Well I am very sore today! It's hard getting in and out of bed. When I stand up, I'm ok. Been sipping all day. My dr recommends 1 oz every five minutes, so my beside has coconut Water, premier Protein, almond milk, Metamucil mixed in some Water and plain water. I'm trying my best to get it all down. I get full after 2 sips!! Lol!

Think I'm gonna go for a short walk later to get this gas moving. Haven't been nauseated at all. I have 5 incisions and they're all sore, so can't say if where port is any sorer. :-/

Well happy recovery to u...

Oh why can't u drink??

I couldnt drink until I did a swallow test with radiology. I finally got in around noon. That was almost a whole day since surgery. So I have just barely started drinking. I just left the hospital today also. So it was nice to recover in there a Lil longer.

So I didn't have any gas problem's until after I started sipping my Clear Liquids this afternoon and WHOA. This gas is killer. Lol. I had a few extra sips of my broth when I got home and I think I sipped too much. Lol. I feel so full. Thats nice to know the band is working. :)

The incision sites r painful and the gas makes it that much more painful. But the loratab elixur helps with the pain. I can't wait to be back to normal. I want to start working out again. I'm trying to have my skin bounce back as much as possible but I think I will still need a Tummy Tuck when I reach my goal weight which is 100 lbs from what I am now.

In bed at home now resting while I can smell my husbands and kids yummie dinner. PIZZA!!! Lol. No fair. My sister says "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels"but after smelling all this food I'm not so sure about that. Ha ha. Jk.

Thanks for the liquid ideas. I have just been doing water and broth. I need to add some variety to my regime. Especially the Fiber drink. Hope that gas subsides soon. Let me know how you feel tomorrow. Hopefully better then today.

      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.
