Quinn! I could not keep ANYTHING down, not even 1oz of Water for 3 days after surgery... just keep trying a little at a time. I am at 2 weeks and 3 days now and can tell you, it does get better... just a little slower for some of us :)

My doctor would not discharge me until I drank 36oz of Water and it was only 2 days after surgery but I did it and went home. I am now on day 6 and each day I can handle more and more.

Today I feel better. Thanks for all the replies. I'm able to keep a little more down. I love Sonic ice! It stays down. Still afraid to try Protein Drink. Any suggestions?

Isopure isn't that bad for my taste buds, a friend of mines bought a couple and did not like the taste and gave em to me, its not that bad its sweet n it does have a weird signature i guess after taste lol.. so far i have tried their banana pine apple mango , and this red one i think its raspberry strawberry or something,, ur just going to drink something after wards n brush ur tongue because it makes ur mouth dry.. n tongue feel icky.. but loving the Protein content.

I think I'm going to try using the Isopure Protein Drinks to make Protein Jello. Has anyone tried this yet? How did it come out?

      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.
