Did your doctor prescribe a PPI for you, like Pepcid? Sometimes the growly hungry feelings are actually too much acid in your tummy. My surgeon wanted me on them for at least 4 weeks post-op.

I was supposed to take protonix for 6 months! I couldn't handle it and had to switch to Zantac. PPIs give me a headache.

Ok.. well my morning didnt start off too good but as the day

progressed i begun to feel better. I got up walked around

Walmart and did a little shopping.. got a scale and some

different Protein Shakes and some more stuff.. are the Atkin

shakes good? I brought some of those..

The Atkins shakes made me sick after about a week. Had gas and diarrhea. Premier shakes are better to me and have more Protein. But I know some that love the Atkins so you will just have to try them to see what works for you.

I was on Proteins right away. My NUT said the Protein is essential to wound healing, which I knew from my parents' various joint replacement surgeries and my previous c-sections. My OB was insistent on a high Protein diet for healing my long c-section incision. I wonder how people on Clear Liquids for a few weeks fare in recovery compared to those who have to have Protein Shakes?

And BTW, I did Atkins for a few years and detest their shakes!! The Slim Fast high protein shakes are the same flavor as the Atkins. I'm just making carnation w/ skim milk and adding 1/2 scoop of unjury unflavored Protein Powder per shake.

I heard that there was a three week stall, does anyone know what's that about? When does it usually end? I got to my third week and I've only lost half a pound after four days. I hate to call it a stall because I can tell my stomach looks smaller and my clothes keep getting looser.... it's just frustrating that the scale numbers won't budge especially because I had a short term goal of 169 by the 7th and I'm still 5 pounds away.

You shouldn't focus on only number goals. Think of sone non-scale victories you would like to achieve. Like tour clothes getting looser! Yayayat!!!!!!

      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.
