I'm officially 24 hours out of surgery. My first 24 was pretty miserable due to the gas pains. Pain causes nausea. I feel much better now. Still a little discomfort, but otherwise good. It all made it so much better. because my surgeon is one foxy dude. :-) lol lol

I am two weeks out and get hungry. Starving actually. The thing is' date=' if you get enough Protein and fluids, one should eat only three times a day. And, they are VERY small meals.[/quote']

Are you drinking while you eat? That's rule number one for me. I'm not to drink for half an hour before during or sixty minutes after eating.

My rule: 30 minutes before or after and yep, I follow this rule. I was just saying that yes, I do get hungry when it's time to eat. I did not at first, but do know.

I did have trouble the first 2 days but they gave me a prescription for Zofran and it made a huge difference...

      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.
