What are ya'll doing dir Protein? I tried the carnation instant Breakfast mixed with 1 cup of milk and 2/3 of dry milk makes the drink have 21 grams of protein. My new tummy doesn't like milk!! Trying it tonight with soy milk. Don't know what I'll do if that doesn't work cause the Protein Drink they gave me in the hospital was nasty!!!

I tried the Carnation in the hospital and my stomach rebelled as well. I have no desire for it. I'm still having an issue getting the 64oz of fluids in. :( anything cold and my stomach spasms. How are you guys doing on your liquid intake. Mibe is a sad 10-15 oz

I know I'm not getting the required Water in. My pain is not in my stomach but my chest. Probably should be using the breathing thingy more. Hate it though because it is uncomfortable. Wish I was feeling better by now. Can't believe a lady from another site went back to work already. No way!

Just the breathing thing and walk every hour!! You don't wanna get pneumonia or blood clots. Have you been using the gasx strips? Maybe its gas. The walking will help! I hope you start feeling better

Yes, I sat next to your mom, waiting for my turn. I was the short one with long dark hair. Overall, I was very pleased with the facility & staff. They did try to kick me out after one night, but since I'm self-pay, & they already made me pay for a 2nd night in advance, I stayed a 2nd night.

      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.
