Last night went well. Woke up with some gas pains in my chest and back, but sitting up and walking around a bit helped. I'm not needing every dose of the pain meds. The doc just stopped by and said he's starting the discharge paperwork! Yay!!! Just remember everyone, keep up with your walks and your liquids (sip sip sip!) and you're golden :)

Day 1 at home went okay... So much more comfortable in my bed! I slept like I was in a coma... I drank 1 Isopure and 1 -8 Oz Protein Shake made with skim milk to met over 80 Protein. For some reason, I craved skim milk to drink and was able to drink another 8 ozs.. Sipped Water all day. So far so good, and lost 10 lbs since my hospital stay. I'm feeling do much better

I'm having trouble getting motivated to drink my Protein shakes! They are really grossing me out. Also, I have yet to do a chewable Vitamin. Hated them since I was a kid. Help!!

I do not care for isopure grape frost juice. I will try it after surgery but it has a nasty Protein aftertaste.

Yes the grape was hard tasting. I liked the apple melon. They are a bit expensive, but not as heavy as a shake when you have to get in your Protein. Anyone know of anything comparable?

Maybe if you added some crystal light to the Protein? I don't know!! I really love my fuzzy navel Syntrax; hopefully that doesn't change after surgery. :( Even if they gross you out try to drink it anyway. Maybe you can Water it down?

      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.
