This was happening to me :( it was about 7 weeks after my surgery... They ended up putting me back in the hospital :( the opening for my throat to my pouch had closed completely they said the only open space for foot and Water to flow was the size of the tip of a ball point pen... I couldn't even get water down it was miserable! I had waited a week like this before even telling my dr... So therefore I was do dehydrated that they couldn't even put an Iv in me they tried 7 times and finally got one in my shoulder :( it was the worst pain ever :( my dr had told me after placing a stent inside me to keep it open (it will be there for the ret of my life ;/ ) that if I had waited about 2 more days I would have probably died from no food or water what so ever :( it's very scary hopefully urs isn't as bad as mine was :( best of 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.
