Why did you have to go back to liquids?

Omg I remember that for the first few days until I went and got some strawberry Fiber gummies from cvs and that started helping a bit.

I had surgery July 2nd. The same happened to me. My Dr. Told me to take 1/2 of an Imodium. I'm still having to take it almost daily!

I'm in the same boat as sil222. I was constipated for almost 2 weeks after surgery. It was horrible. My surgeon suggested taking fiber so I started taking the gummies every other day and that did the trick! :)

Why did you have to go back to liquids?

Eating anything resembling real food causes pain in my chest and throat. Not sure

if Im just not chewing enough or what. I know its way too hard to make 3 oz of food last 20 minutes ~ At least with liquids ( Soups, smoothies, etc) I dont have to watch the clock. I just fixed dumplings and I didn't have much of a problem but still could not make it last 20 min.

You know something has gone terribly wrong in your life when getting to eat "mushies" and "slushies" is something to look forward to...LOL

Before you know it your current problem will be gone .... "water under the bridge" as they say.... Okay, bad cliche. But you get my drift.

Each stage seems an eternity, but each one passes before you know it. I got to eat real, non-blendered beef today. Of course it was "pot roasted" to oblivion, but was not technically put in a blender, so I am still celebrating. You will be too soon.

what did the doc say? Will this get better? I'm so sorry you are having complications.

He didnt say it would get better. He just said sliw down. Any slower and my food will mildew before I finish. I think the pain isnt worth the food right now.

      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.
