Im also 4 days post op. I have had one basically after every time that I have Soup or anything other than water!!! Did your doctor say it was ok to have oatmeal? It is on my list for full liquids to begin today and I made it runny, but am now worried I was suppose to like puree the oats.......Do either of you have any thoughts? I had an oz of oats and Water and felt very full very fast, very different from solid liquids. I hope I did not hurt my sleeve.....Just confused!!

Watery oatmeal is on my week 2 list. My doc didn't say it needed to be puréed. If your doc said it was ok and you didn't have a bad reaction, then you should be fine but call him/her if you have doubts. Can't wait until I can have something other than liquids. Should be able to more stuff Friday!!!

      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.
