Those "sharts" can ruin a good day, for sure!

For me, little pebbles. Not literally, but figuratively. :) However my plan had me starting on soft foods the first day that I was home from the hospital, so I HAD something to move through the system. I could see if a person is on clear or full liquids for awhile, there's nothing for your body to compress into a solid bowel movement. Liquid in = liquid out.

I've only had one somewhat explosive bowel movement, thankfully while I was still home during my two weeks off. I used to have at two daily "constitutionals" and now it's more like every other day I will have one. (Sometimes every day or something... but they are more normal 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.
