Hello,

I am 1 week post op. I'm able to tolerate 14oz of muscle milk over a 30-45 minute time period. I take small sips and never feel over full or get the foamies. I am just concerned I will stretch my pouch. Should I be able to do that so soon after surgery. I also don't have much issue getting in my 64oz of fluids a day.

Thanks in advance.

I'm 5 days post op and as long as I go slow my 64 oz has been no issue. My dr has me drinking 12 oz of Atkins and Unjury shakes a day4oz at a time ( 3 meals so to speak). As long as you don't have any discomfort I would think its fine.

Ok! I was worried they tricked me or something! They put me under and cut me but left my stomach alone. I didn't really watch the clock close while drinking but I sipped slowly and took breaks. When it all went down with no issues and the container was empty I was like "wait......" I checked the receipt for the time and it was 45 min prior. I was worried I did something wrong!

I was told that the pouch is like a funnel with a 1/4 inch opening at the bottom so liquids basically drain out as we drink them.

      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.
