Does that mean no milky Protein Shakes? haven't seen that before! There are so many ways to do this.

I had my surgery on April 8th (Monday). I am still pretty sore but I feel much better with each day that passes. It is the weirdest sensation to realize that you haven't had to eat anything to be satisfied. I have had to set a alarm on my phone to remind myself to drink. Not hungry at all. I have had a few popsicles and some Jello but broth just doesn't sound appetizing at all yet. Taking my medication is by far the worst part of it all. It just tastes nasty to swallow those crushed pills and gross liquids.< /div>

I TOTALLY know what you mean. My surgery was on the 8th also. Like you i feel taking the meds is the worst. Just to here the word "broth" turns my stomach. Yuck! I am also very sensitive to all types of smells. It reminds me of pregnancy:-P

All in all surgery this morning went great! I've been battling with really bad nausea and have been dry heaving so now I'm extra super sore. The gas is the worst part though. I walk in my room as much as possible - they don't want me walking because of the dry heaves every time stand up :-( have only had to take pain meds once though :-) I get to go home tomorrow afternoon :-)

No i wish i had tmi lol i was very hydrated before surgery. I lost count on how many bags of fluids I've had. Also i never once filled up my catheter bag. So my bladder ultrasound said it was only 50% full so my body must be absorbing all this fluids.

      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.
