I'm heading to doc today to hopefully get the jp drain out. I felt ok past few days. It hard to get into pureed diet hope had some Soup, refried Beans, Tomato with un flavor Protein tha tastes like whey. I am really hating the taste of whey. But I am eighty pounds down.

Driver, best wishes on getting that drain out. I know I was elated to have my 2 removed. It was the most awkward, and uncomfortable feeling that I have experienced when they pulled those drains. But, I felt so much better once they were out.

Congrats on your success thus far. I really hated all the Protein mixes/types/flavors as well. Hang in there, you're doing great.

Congratulations Driver63---a game of golf is probably a good thing to get outside and breath in some fresh air. Hope things continue to progress for you from here on out.

Driver63 - I'm sorry about your leak. I didn't have any complications, but I replied here because I saw you were from Vero Beach. I'm from Vero too and had a sleeve done here in October. I hope your problems will all be resolved soon.

      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.
