Lucky you!! I had mine 8/7 too. The second and third day I was so nauseated. Now, I am sore in my stomach and back. I've tried to get all my liquid in and I absolutely can't!

Ladybug, the liquid has been the hardest part for me. You literally have to sip all day.. I'm not getting all mine in either, but I'm getting enough.. The other thing is the variety of liquid... I'm tired of Water, shakes and broth... I like the Jello, so it helps, but I can't wait for soft foods...

I understand, I'm ready to chew something. For the water, I bought Kool-Aid squirt bottles that are SF. I love them, the flavoring is awesome! I'm also eating SF pudding and cream Soups. I'm so so sick of broth! Makes me gag thinking about it. Lol!!!

My dr has not said I can do pudding or cream soups... I hope I get that approval on Wednesday. If not... I'll be in a real bad mood!. I can say, and this is very gross, but I have chewed a few things... Chewed and spit it back out no swallowing.. Then rinsed my mouth really well.. Sometimes you just need to chew something and gum didn't work.. I am going to try the kook aid favors.. I hope they help

I was cleared for Soup and pudding but I was told no gum! They said the gum would cause me to swallow air and fill my pouch up. Chewing and spitting is a good idea! I may have to try it!! I hope the kool-aid helps too. It has really helped me so much!

      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.
