oh, i am so very sorry. i had surgery on dec 6 and was following the plan without too much difficulity but when i transitioned into the 5th week everything stopped and headed in reverse every time i ate! lordy that wasn't fun at all. i was so sick and dehydrated after not eating and drinking for 3 days that the hospital couldn't even get an iv started when i went in for my second surgery to correct a stomach stricture on jan 18th! i was placed back on liquids only for a week and then have been only on soft foods until i see the dr for a follow up next tues. i'm still struggling to get enough Protein in every day even with adding Protein Powder to my food. i'm trying hard but i'm getting so frustrated with the fact that i still can't keep everything down. :( even the meds they are giving me to coat my stomach to help me to eat now makes me sick. not much fun right now but i'm trying to stay positive. i follow the drs orders, attend my group meeting, exercise and i really believe this rough patch will pass--lets hope sooner rather then later though. good luck with your future journey!! :)

wow, sounds like my journey... I also had to be re-hospitalized for dehydration. I can relate to the IV, same thing happened to me. The doctor instructed me today to drink milk all day nothing else, drink a gallon if I have to. That will satisfy my Fluid and Protein daily allowance. I wonder what is wrong with our stomachs that they are so sensitive.

I'm really starting to hear that. I wonder why that is happening. I hope your doctors are monitoring you. Hang in there!

      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.
