Who is your doctor? The pain but I think all of it has been from the hernia repair. Cause everyone says they really didn't have any pain. After surgery I had hard time with Soups, thinking about them make me sick. LOL. Getting my fluids and Protein in has been task. With all that said I'm still happy that I did it. I lost as of Monday which is 6 days out 15lbs.

My Dr. Is Dr. Bass. I also have to have a hernia repaired during surgery! Im worried about the full liquid diet because my sister had the lap-band done and she literally cried because she was so hungry! I also worry about getting the protien in lol I guess its all a big change for a lifetime. 15lbs in 6 days thats great! congrats!!!

Yes, he is really nice. He did my aunts lap band over year ago. Missy is the sweetest thing. I had couple questions after surgery and Dr Bass called me back himself.

The liquid diet gets easier after about the 2nd or 3 rd day. Your taste buds or they way your stomach feels about certain foods changes after surgery so don't stock up to much on items. The liquid Soups I used 2 different types to give them more taste. Like French onion and beef. Dannon light n fit greek yogurt is high in Protein and taste pretty good. Are u part of the Facebook group or have the my fitness pal app yet??? GOOD LUCK!!!

      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.
