Congratulations! Looks like we both had surgery on Monday (8th). I came home yesterday. So far, I would say yesterday was my worst day. I was in a lot of pain from the gas and was extremely tired. I am also having a hard time drinking all my 60oz of liquids too. It's 8pm now, and I'm only at 29oz. I am going to try to hit 40oz before I go to bed.

How has your liquid intake been so far? What are you tolerating the best? I've been enjoying SF popsicles the most. Water is pretty good to me too, although I girgle and burp after every sip. Jello gets me full and bloated too quickly.

Well, best of luck. I am curious to see if we run into similar experiences.

Yes, Jello made me feel ill yesterday. Sticking to liquids and broth. I have popsicles but have not had one. May be tonight.

Great to see you progressing so well Chad' date=' seems all your time here is paying off. You are so aware of everything that is happening. I only wish we were all as well informed as you are.[/quote']

I feel better prepared than what I see in my local hospital support group. Thanks for your confidence.

      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.
