Am new to the group but glad I found it! I am 6-days out of surgery and am enjoying the journey. I was hospitalized for a few days after my initial release from the hospital because of pain. Now the gas that I have is so unbearable that I can't move at times! Does this go away?? I am a day away from finishing the all liquid portion of the diet and am a bit terrified of what's to come.

Did you have surgery on 7.19.12 ? I did lol . I too am having gas pain (crying to breathe sometimes) still. It has gotten a lot better by me taking gasx chewables and walking as much as possible . I get tired easily so long distances are a joke . Took me 1 hour to pick up a few items in Walmart !

I start full liquids tomorrow (im excited) so I went and bought some cream of broccoli and chicken like stuff . I also bought almond milk and yahoo Togo packets (no sugar, 5 calories) !

Welcome to the group ! Everyone here is nice !

We will have to keep each other updated on how we're doing. If you need support in here for you!! I'm sure I will need it too! 16 pounds is awesome!! I'm kinda curious to see where I bottom out. I was 205 when I played college ball with 5% body fat but I was HUGE!! I worked out with 305 lbs but am only 5 foot 8. I still lift but don't do much power lifting anymore.

Gonna be a great journey!

      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.
