Doing pretty good.. Getting a little stronger & more energy each day. No pain med needed since first day after leaving hospital. Honestly just sick & tired of BROTH!!!! Sadly' date=' I'll be glad to drink Protein drinks & yogurt (gross!!) -- 2 days left of this clear liquid fun!! Struggle to get required fluids (min 60 oz) each day but trying to drink as much as I can--- down 5 lbs since surgery--[/quote']

I'm so sick of broth too , Water feels really heavy on its own to drink so I'm struggling with that but on a good note I was a mad caffeine 8-10 cups a day person now I am changing back to tea .

I'm just ok. Having a but if a hard time with this whole thing. I have to find something to keep me busy but don't have a ton of energy.

Nawwwww no , just remember you have had major surgery and it will take a while for your body and your mind to adjust . We are all here if you want to ask anything or need advice . I'm on different instructions from my Doc in Australia .... 2 weeks of clear fluids ... It's going to kill me cause I'm so bored of it already but I just challenge myself about how much I will weigh by then . Keep busy x

I am having trouble sleeping also. Can't for the life of me figure out why. I am on Clear liquids also. I tried some Chamomile tea last night & that seemed to help ( i was asleep before midnight so def progress!!) but got woke up early & can't go back to sleep. No caffeine so that's not causing my sleeping issue-- just can't seem to settle down & get to sleep. Weird!

Hi! I was sleeved on June 6th. I went back to work today and definitely over did it. I have a sharp pain on my right side. Hopefully a good night sleep will fix it. Being at work keeps my mind off of the fact that I'm still on clear liquids until Friday : (

I went back to work on Monday as well. I just thought I had regained my strength -- Boy, was I wrong. I was exhausted by the end of the day.

I had a rough start. Tried to get pneumonia right after surgery but antibiotics are a wonderful thing. I went back to work Tuesday but I work in accounting so no heavy lifting. I go to bed a lot earlier than before surgery. sleeping well once I started back to work & got the ok from Primary Care doc that I could use NyQuil for my cough. I'm curious if anyone else is moving into the mushy food stage tomorrow & what they plan to incorporate. I'm craving salty things. I'm sick of aspartame sweetened Snacks. I really want to go to Popeyes & get the red Beans with no rice or the mashed potatoes & gravy. Too soon?

      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.
