I have been eating raw veggies every day since about 4 months, and dairy since 2 weeks out with zero problems :-)

I have been eating raw veggies since March 19th (about 5 and a half weeks out) and dairy since about a week out. My tummy makes strange sounds with dairy now, but a gas x strip eliminates that problem. Never any pain with either.

frumpy69, yes when i first had my surgery I could not eat salad at all without a "call me an ambulance" pain. It was really bad. . .so for 3 years I didn't eat any salads at all. . a couple of weeks ago, we went to a friends dinner party and she had prepared a really nice salad. I thought to myself "I wonder if I'll still have pain if i eat that" Well I took some and really really enjoyed it. . . guess what? NO PAIN! The next day I made a salad for myself and no pain. . . yippee! Now I live on salad. ( I think I'm making up for the past 3 years) But my point here is that it may hurt now, so don't eat it now, just wait and hopefully one day you'll be able to get back to it. . don't aggrivate your tummy right now. . . one day it's going to allow you again. . .good luck!

      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.
