And i am just so uncomfortable. Not drinking to much caused every sip causes gas pains. Should i still be getting gas pains from sipping?

On top of that i started feeling acid reflux an hour ago. :(

Also my insisions hurt so horribly bad, i wasn't expecting so much pain... im feeling pretty defeated today. :(

When I was sipping, I realized that I was still breathing in too much air. So I would take a sip and let it sit in my mouth. It will make its way back and down too. Also, don't be afraid to burp. I warned my hubby and he just got over it.

As far as the incisions go, don't push yourself too hard. This was major surgery and everything is going to hurt for a while. I'm 4 weeks out and the only thing that really helped me to minimize the pain was moving around. I just got up and walked up and down the hallway in my house a lot just to get movement. Trust me, you WILL feel better. Keep your head high!

      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.
