Thanks but are you only on clear? My doc has me on clear which is why this is happening. I take it lightly and wonder when I do get to eat if I will gain a little?

5 pounds is also great in one week! :)

My surgery was on the 13th and before I was released from the hospital the dr. graduated me to full liquids which is the creamy Soups, cottage cheese, yogurt, shakes.... I have lost 10 lbs. since the day of surgery. OMG!! I can't believe it.

Y'all pray for me, I don't seem to be doing as good as all of you guys... My side is swollen & I don't feel I've lost any weight since last Wed.. I can't seem to get many liquids down - today in try'n to get in 2 Protein Shakes & more water... You all are losing so much weight & I don't think I am... Maybe b/c my stomach is swollen & irritated & inflamed...

I am sorry you aren't feeling good. Take it easy. If you haven't lost any weight now it is probably Water retention, out bodies react differently. I am sure you will start losing according to your body. Hang in there. Hope you can have your Protein today. Prayers going your way.

Oh honey- that was me a couple days ago and I was dehydrated which is a major risk to surgery. I would 1) call doc and 2) stay on Clear Liquids (if u can add unflavored Protein to your drinks). Please call you doc. I was re admitted overnight for that :(

      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.
