Hello patienceshy,

All is well with me, today was a good day! I'm not hungry all the time just worries about my liquid and Protein intake. The first 2days for me were kkthe worst but everyone is different. The first day after surgery I walk around made the gas pain go away . Believe me it helps! Yes, i had to drink the thick yellow syrupy liquid. Its taste terrible! But totally double. No leak,no complication and no serious problems..

THANK GOD!!! Advice for you don't read negative post the will scare you to death. Everyone is different. I can drink my Protein, Water,broth,Jell-O and 1 scramble egg... also take chapstick or even better Vaseline, purchase a tongue scrapper for when you get home tongue get cooughted because of all the protein your taking use it every night it will prevent the severe halitosis (bad breath). Wish you the best of luck keep me poster ...maybe we can become sleeve buddies and workout together...lol

      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.
