So I was given a post op diet and told what I can have but not how much. Yesterday I had half a cup of apple juice, 2 Jello snack cups, and a small cup of broth. Is that normal. Everyday I can eat more (4 days post op). Plus I got weighed on sunday 213 and today 213 is that normal. Today i'm going to GNC to get my liquid vitamins any suggestions.

How much Water are you getting in between that? The main concern right now is getting in as much fluids as you possibly can. Your minimum should be 64 oz total, which those fluids you mentioned above do count toward that total. Per the weight, right now your only concern should be following your post op diet. This diet is not for losing weight it is to heal. The weight will follow, so yes that right now is normal for YOU as long as you are doing what your surgeon advised.

Try not do anything that causes discomfort, if taking larger sips causes this then take smaller sips. You'll just have to sip sip sip, walk walk walk, rest rest rest all day for right now. :)

      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.
