After just two weeks I think that's still normal. Fluid in fluid out :)

Sorry, three weeks. I had those issues until I started solids. But if you're very concerned, a call to the dr never hurt ;) good luck!

I hate to say this but maybe you should check to be sure you didn't pick up c-diff in the hospital. I would call your doctor just to be on the safe side.

A change in smell is common after surgery. The food doesn't spend as long in our stomach so the color and odor are different than what we're used to. I know (TMI!!) mine smelled like baby poo until I'd been on solids for awhile and every now and then it still reminds of that. If the smell bothers you they make stuff you put in the toilet (a couple of drops before you go) and its supposed to block the smell. Just a Drop is one, PooPourri is another. I haven't tried them since my smell kinda stopped and I stay at home but my mother uses it at work and says it works fine :)

I had it and just chalked it up to the healing process. Mine cleared up, but it certainly wouldn't hurt to check with your dr :)

      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.
