Blind guy,

Hippie gal and I both used Josh Roller. When was your surgery? I may have met you at preop.

I too am terrified of trying anything new at all. I don't want to be sick. I had a near dumping experience last night. I think I forced myself to drink my G2 Gatorade too fast.

I'm literally choking down Greek yogurt with added Protein Powder. I want to slap the healthcare professionals who've told me over the last month to "just eat what you're supposed to" or "just drink the right amount"... Like this is all so easy. I want to hit my daily goals SO bad. Maybe today is the day.

I can completely relate. They tell you not to overstuff yourself. Well, when I get anywhere near close to my goals, I'm over stuffing myself I feel. The only way I do well is with those disgusting protein shots! :( But someone said to mix them with flavored sugar free Jello, so I'm gonna try that. This is tough, but trial and error I guess.

Happy to hear you're going home. Hopefully it does work for you. Now that you've even refreshed, via IVs and such, hopefully you can pick up from there and have no other issues :-) fingers crossed and good luck

I do feel a little bit better today then the past days. I feel i am losing something, could just be my mind. Lol but i dont think i am getting all the Protein in. This horrible taste in my mouth makes me nauseated. Even brushing my teeth 3 times a day and my tongue doesnt stop that taste. If i could drink just a little faster i could get this protein down but i sip and sit my cup down sip and put it down. I am getting bored. I can tell you for sure i am not walking like i should but i am going to get on my wii fit today and do the walking thing. If that person on the inside of the game doesnt start making comments lol.

Sending prayers to the ones having problems and that your able to overcome the problems and the pain. 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.
