Tonight I had peppermint tea with nothing added. It was very soothing in my tummy...

I've been having those new Ensure Clear drinks. They are a little high in sugars and carbs, but do have 9 oz of Protein. I'm only going to drink those for a few more days. Then when I can, onto full liquids. It's one of the few things sitting well with me, so I figured I'll take it!

I love the peppermint tea every morning and also any of the Celestial teas like honey vanilla camomile are so nice and soothing- I kind of drink them all day in addition to Water.

It's so true that every day gets better. Sometimes it's moment by moment though. Not pain but like spikes of energy of complete lack of it.

I'm so grateful I haven't had issues with food/taste/temp. tolerance though.

As far as shakes I drink Oh Yeah (30 grams protein) and Pure Protein (in a can) 35 grams Protein.< /p>

I've been out of hospital since Wednesday morning too, rested the day at motel (i live in country western australia - surgeries such as this one is only carried out in Perth) been shopping ever since. Massive headache on Thursday, but think that i was probably dehidrated. Been really well, haven't been nausious since Wednesday. Living on runny yoghurt, chicken Soup and custard! Well done everyone!

Today is my first day of purees as well.

I had an appt. and then went shopping. I think I got every possible thing that can be mushed today. I'm so exhausted from the shopping I can't even begin to cook the things I had planned..the ricotta bake, the cauliflower cheesy bake thingy I've read about...ect. etc. I did eat (suck on) one of those laughing cow cheeses...YUMMY!!! It was awesome after about a month of liquid.

I hope everyone's healing well. I really don't feel like I had such a major surgery.

Lara, It takes time for the insisions to look great probably. Mine aren't bad- although I don't know what to compare them to. You could do stool softener. Good luck!!

P.S. Where's your tickers people?! :) I'd love to see as we all go down together.

      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.
