Same here, can't stand broth! I'm no where near 64oz but enough to keep me hydrated. I've been fine until last night, my stomach is really sore and it feels like my whole body is vibrating. I feel really tight in my entire abdominal cavity. I'm sitting now with a heat pack on my whole stomach and sipping some hot tea, hopefully that will help.

The pain from that post passed and I have been fine for the past few days. Still a bit tired but I've been able to do some chores, errands and keep up with the kids. Usually needing a nap each day but that'll get better too.

Hope you're feeling better too!

Had surgery on August 27th, spent one night in hospital. I admit that I was unbelieveably miserable for the first 2 days, but I improved very quickly after that. (I have fibromyalgia and degenerative disc disease affecting my back) Lost 10 lbs pre-surgery, 17 lbs in the 2 weeks since. 4 inches from my waist!!

I can feel cool items go through my stomach, really weird! I keep Water next to me all day and sip a little at a time - but still only getting about 48 oz, but it is increasing.

I am ready for something better than broth!! I am soooo sick of broth... Get to start soft foods today and I have to start worrying about Protein.

Sorry to hear that Kelly. I am doing ok now. Spent the first three weeks in and out of hospital for dehydration due to swelling. Weight was going up and down during that time but steadily going down now

Kelly thank you for your kind words. Every once and awhile i get that twinge of regret but i keep saying it can't be this bad forever. Still having a hard time with keeping things in and definitely not getting anywhere near enough fluids

      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.
