Hello Sleevers...well today I'm 7days post op and im feeling great. My follow up appt with surgeon is tomorrow. I have been taking my Vitamins regularly and meds when needed. I do not have much stomach pain anymore. I'm happy about that. I don't have much of an appetitie and when I do eat its only a lil bowl of creamy Soup using my 2yrs old's toddler bowl. Lol. I get full really quick. I am trying to keep up with my liquids. Its so difficult because I want to gulp it down but I can't lol. As far as the Protein shakes....I haven't really been drinking them. They are disgusting and they give me horrible gas lol. I'm sure my doctor will go over my diet with me again but right now the crystal light, Water, creamy Soups, applesauce, sf Jello, and sf pudding works fine for me. I did try a piece of a french fry and a hamburger pattie(both the size of my fingernail) but I had no desire for it. Yay!!!! How are u guys doing? Sending happy thoughts and prayers to everyone:-)

Good for you, glad to hear you are doing well. I would get the Protein in tho, very important. I know they are mostly nasty ones but keep trying till you find one you like.

      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.
