I don't like this answer! (Titanium staples). Foreign un dissolving objects?! Booooo

Just about any abdominal op will leave you with some titanium staples. They are v stable and don't set off alarms at the airport. But your X-rays will be fascinating! I've had several surgeries and have quite a few of the darned things - I look quite "arty" on the inside IMHO.

So' date=' no judgement here but just an observation and a question. I'm sure that egg was good, the first food I ate once I was allowed was a scrambled egg and it was the best damn egg I ever ate. But if you're having a hard time getting in liquid Protein, how did you get in solid food? The liquid should go down even easier no? Is it just that you're sick of Protein shakes by now? That's understandable, I think most of us were. Just go forward from here and know this is the toughest it's going to be. It gets much easier very soon. Stick it out....keep drinking that Water and those shakes. Very soon you won't have to drink them any more.[/quote']

The problem I'm having is that nothing tastes good. I'm living off aporox 30oz a day of Isopure because its the only thing I can drink that doesn't make me wanna puke my guts out. So the fact that the egg tasted AMAZING made me so excited! I'm trying my best to up my fluids but if I drink much more than I am now it makes my stomach hurt.

No judgment. I've been on purée, per my doctor, since the morning after my surgery. I wouldn't worry too much.

It's possible you're now lactose intolerant. My shakes were mckinney nauseated so I took lactaid pills with them and that has really helped. May be worth trying that, or switching to soy-based for a bit.

Have you tried powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup? I recommend it a lot, as it tasted great to me, went down easy and gave me the Protein I needed.

Good luck!

      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.
