It is so hard not to cheat on the liquid diet. I am on day 5 and I am hungry. broth, Jello and popsicle are getting old along with the Protein Drinks. Anyone else having the same problem?

yes I am having a problem with it two and i called the doctor and asked him what was on his mind so he allowed me on can of Tomato Soup a day and that makes me feel better and the people at work think im sane again lol

I solved the problem perfectly myself. Every year, each sibling (five of us) go to my mother's house. We decide what we want for out birthday meal and she makes it and the whole family celebrates. My choice is always roast beef, mashed potatoes, peas and German chocolate or Angel cake for dessert. Yum.

But my birthday is April 12th and I was sleeved on March 5th. What to do? We solved it by having my birthday celebration before the surgery date.

It was beautiful. Presents, cake and the most succulent, rare roast beef I've ever had.

Win Win.

And I will be on solid foods when my real birthday arrives. I will probably Celebrate with a bite of mashed potatoes, Soup and a Protein Drink. LOL

Mine tends to use 36 and then oversew. But it also depends on the patient. I got 34 with oversew. There really isn't a big difference.

I'm on day 3 post-op. I'm still having a fair amount of pain in my stomach. It feels like I took a couple donkey kicks to the gut. Nothing some liquid Percocet doesn't take care of though. I'm doing lots of walking. I had a Protein Shake today, which was my first real calories since Sunday night. I am taking fluids pretty easily. So far today I have 30 oz of fluids and 30 grams of Protein down and it's only noon. I'm hoping to go back to work on Sunday. It's looking good so far!

Good luck to all those who are getting sleeved today!

      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.
