My stomach is doing great.. My mind.. Idk! I cried this morning bc I felt sorry for myself and wanted to eat..lol

I have really had no pain at all! No problem with drinking stuff.. Just hate the Protein shakes and I'm already sick of cream Soups.. So I'm not getting in enough Protein at all and at certain times of the day I feel soooo weak! What are you eating?

Today was my first day of full liquids, I've had applesauce. It hurts if I take too many sips and I get air stuck a lot, or at least that's what it feels like. The pain has been a huge battle for me, but today was finally my turning point. I feel like I've just done way too many sit ups. Ice is my friend on 2 of my 5 incisions. I'm just glad that I'm starting to feel human again.

Hey guys I was sleeved on the 9th, and really the only pain I have had is the gas. My wife is a nurse so she makes sure I'm sipping like I'm supposed to

      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.
