Day 3 post op and doing well... Gets kinda rough when the pain meds wear off but overall It's been much much easier than I expected... Fluids are a breeze been drinking Protein Shakes today too... Finally passed gas this morning and its like the farty floodgates opened I'm a tootin fool much to the delight of my 3-year old but breaking wind feels soooooo good... I'm gonna attempt a shower when my wife gets home I'm sure that will feel awesome keep your chin up everyone everyday is better

What Protein Drink? I'm having a hard time finding one I can tolerate post op.

Well I got home from the hospital today. I was so sick to my stomach the first day, they had to put me on a medication for nausea which had an adverse reaction of urinary retention. So I had to come home with a foley cath. Well Im going to get off of here....pain medicine kicked in. Praying for everyone to have a speedy recovery.

      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.
