Frankly' date=' that sounds delicious!! I'm still stuck on this disgustingly unfulfilling liquid diet!!! I'm open week post op on Friday.[/quote']

There must be something wrong with my doctor. I only get 2 days of liquid. Then its pureed for for 2 weeks then 6 weeks of soft foods. I don't even see him until a month after surgery.

I had my surgery yesterday and doing well so far. I do not have much pain until I get out of bed and today I was able to go full liquids today. No nausea. Did get dizzy a bit today but I think it was because I over did it showering so they had to wheel me back to my room. Doing fine now.

Day 3 post RNY. I've managed to get down 360 mls Clear Liquids more during the night. Still have some nausea, haven't passed gas but I can feel it rumbling in there! The abdominal pain is brutal, though. ESP the left side. My surgeon said they had to clean up a lot of adhesions while they were i there so maybe that's why I still have such pain. I'm afraid to advance the diet for fear I'll vomit, which would be excruciating. I keep thinking just get through this week & things will get better.

I'm on day one of clear liquids also. I loved jello before, now the jello and broth just taste icky and I can't handle it. I can drink the heck out of some decaf tea and Water though. Hang in there. I think that being hungry thing will improve. I'm glad I haven't had that so far. I'm thinking about you and wishing you a speedy recovery.

Thank you so much -- I think some of this is me living with family n smelling everything driving me wild knowing I simply can not have it :x --

Did my measurements today: so far 27 days ago I'm down only 5 pounds but I've lost 22 1/2" all across my body- I can feel a little bit of the difference, but the biggest part is seeing it on paper - I'm going to do it again the DOS and then with each doc visit

That left side hurts for a while....mine still bothers me over a week later...BUT it's very manageable and you just have to be careful. Icing it really helps...I used that in the hospital and it made a significant difference...

It finally happened. I cried. I keep telling myself no regrets...no regrets....but dang it sometimes a girl just wants to be able to eat fried chicken and fart. Ughh...sorry about that visual. I suppose this horrendous left sided belly pain will be around a few more days. Any advice getting through "hell week"?

I'm not sure i have any exact advice for hell week, but on day 4 I had almost a night and day change for the better. I'm day 6 right now, and feel great- a little weak and shaky maybe from lack of food, but otherwise good!!

The pain meds I was given didn't really help, but the anti-inflammatories did a smidgen of help. For the gas and bloating, I'm downing gas x and papaya enzymes. Seems to be helping a lil with that. Good luck!!!

For my friends farther out: how long does the back and shoulder pain last? My abdomen is not sore, I am not really nauseous, but my back is killing me. Any tips or tricks?

      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.
