Congrats on ur upcoming surgery. I'm 8days post op I got my staples removed today. The 1st day or 2 may be a lil rough as u learn ur new stomach. Time ur pain meds so u r covered at all times, walk walk walk, and enjoy the new steps ur body is abt to begin. I learned that I had 2 kinds of pain. Gas from drinking 2 fast and slight gas if u don't drink ur fluids like u should. You will do great.

I'm feeling a little better today. Was just able to drink a little bit of a premier Protein shake mixed with PB2 powder and I seem to be tolerating it. So I guess you could say today is much better than Tuesday. I think in a few more days ill feel much better than today. Good luck on your upcoming surgery. I am sure all will be done for you. Don't be scared.

Hi Angel, it does appear we got sleeved on Monday ;-) my tummy is a little better but I just took a trip to the store for some Popsicles and had to take a pain pill once I got home. I'm barely getting 20 ounces of liquid a day. It's just so hard to hit 48 when you feel so full all the time.

I'm not sure who your surgeon or nutritionalist is but I called mine today and was told I could use PB2 or regular Peanut Butter in the Protein Drink to make it taste better she also said I could use some fruit in it. I'm afraid to eat any Soup yet but I am allowed if I want. I think I may try something tonight. What state are you in? I'm I'm Northern California.

I'm in Sourhern New Jersey. I haven't been cleared for Protein drinks yet so I'm getting none in this week until I'm cleared on Tuesday. I've been doing chicken broth and it's been amazing it actually helps me feel full for a while

I haven't had any chicken broth yet' date=' I have several different brands to try so I really need to push myself to eat it.[/quote']

Definitely start the chicken broth. It makes your stomach warm and eases the pain in the muscles and actually makes you feel way more stuffed than Water and Jello. I can't wait for Protein shakes next week

      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.
