I was gonna try to be strong and just use liquid Tylenol but oh no bring on the drugs! I'm so incredibly sore. Haven't had any issues with liquids though so I've been very hydrated. (Sipping slowly) also sugar free popsicles = amazing!!!

Anyone have any advice for the changing flavor of my Protein Shake? I was doing powders? utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury with vanilla almond milk prior to surgery and tonight I had 1 taste and GROSS!

Use the drugs!!!! You just had abdominal surgery...the doctors gave you the painkillers for a reason. No need to be brave! It hurts! But only for a few days. I was off my painkillers by the fourth day, so it's definitely not forever.

Do you like coffee? ? chocolate Unjury in a cup of coffee has been awesome.

Good luck!

You can put that in your coffee, or pretty much anywhere I think. I have read people use it in Crystal light, and in Soups.

If you really aren't loving it, maybe a friend can run out and get you a few ready to drink Protein drinks at the supermarket...?

Happy to hear your doing well!!! First few days drugs are your friend :)

I am feeling a million times better... Day 4-5ish were emotionally tough but now that I don't feel hungry anymore I feel like a million bucks. I just basically sip my Protein drink throughout the day instead of all at one and it worked great so far. Then with any breakthrough "hunger" I do my sf Jello, yogurt, or creamy Soup. I am a lil sad I'm on full liquid for another week until mushie but I will survive. Lol! How is everything going for you?

Good! I'm glad to hear that!!! I'm just really sore but the pain meds are working and making me sleep. I went on a walk around the block last night and that was nice, but I think it may have been too much too soon. Gonna try again later today.

I do feel extremely hungry at times and at first I thought it was all in my head but it's not cuz it's still here today. I found some muscle milk in my pantry so that's in the fridge to chill for a bit then I'm gonna work on that. I have had a few SF popsicles, SF Jello, and crystal light though. No issues getting it down.

About a week after surgery I was so hungry!!! My husband was really swollen, and didn't even want to think about food.

He was sitting on our couch and me on our love seat and the ball game was on, and don't you know all those games have to have FOOOOOD commercials!

I was STARVING!!!!

I jumped up and yelled at him, shut that thing off!! I can smell the wings through the TV!!

He said to me with a grimace of disgust on his face "How can you even think about eating ANYTHING?"

I'm STARVING I shouted at him! I'm so hungry I'm going to find a Cow and eat it!

We had a good laugh, I'm sure I looked rabid at the time! We laugh about it now when we see the millions of food commercials that play on TV, but at the time I was dead serious! I was HUNGRY!!!!

I learned later on this forum others call it bandster hell. Yep I was there...the cats and the kids all hid in fear! :D :D

But looks like (unless I'm told otherwise on Monday) that I'll be on liquids for 2 weeks.

      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.
