What I have been doing being on Clear liquids only had surgery Thursday the 11 th is Isopure 1 scoop in 8 oz Water 3x per day. Gives me 75 grams Protein and Water mixed. It does take me aan hour or more to finish sipping one. Once 3 then I do broth and water. I have No desire for anything and feel full all the time. Gassy yes both ends I am afraid.

I picked up a case of the Isopure drinks today. I'm so set!

My surgery is July 22nd. I have been on the preop diet for a week and it SUCKS! The worst part is still having to go out with my wife, friend's, and family, all of whom can eat normally. It is torture to just have to sit there while they eat everything that you used to enjoy eating. I am kind of scared, but I am also excited. I am ready to be sleeved, so I don't feel so terribly hungry all of the time.

I have been walking around the house as for treadmill hope you are not pushing it. I plan to do more as time goes on still very sore. I have to force myself to drink Isopure Protein Water to get fluids and Protein in. As for my diabetes my blood sugars are running higher not helping in the energy department and I am told rainbow coverage. Meaning I take a dose as needed.

surgery can make your blood sugar go up. my fasting BGL in preop was 84. perfect. my BGL a day later was 204. still hadnt eaten anything. its stress on the body. it should go away.

Hey! Mine was the 9th too - I am feeling awesome, I posted on page 16 bout it - super long, so I wont write it again lol. Recently I noticed yellow bruising on my incision sites, which means they are healing well, thank goodness! I know that the worst is over, and the best is coming. Pain is like a 2, but I tried driving and it wasnt too bad, defininitely doable! I am still on the full liquids for 1 more wk, but Ive been experimenting with small amts of rice, bread (HUGE mistake, dont eat bread so soon!!), and pudding, and so far so good! I know we will be alright jotate! How are you feeling? How is your pain level? Have you tried driving yet??

      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.
