So now im drinking all kinds of fluids trying to get to docs recommended max 8 oynces an hr but can only do 3-4 right now while trying to get down medicine. Wish me continued healing and luck thanks for all your support

Hang in there! Today is Day 9 post-op for me... I had to be re-hospitalized on Days 4 & 5 post-op due to suffering 4 days of diarrhea & getting severely dehydrated... I've posted another video update on YouTube, just search under "5ohGirl" if you want to hear the whole story. Just please, please, get your fluids in... stay on top of them every hour... if you get diarrhea, don't wait as long as I did to call your doctor about it. Good luck to you all in your recovery!

      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.
