Tried Chike brand Protein Drink again today. I think this is the best tasting one I've ever had. I am gonna order some more now. You get 6 different flavors for 10. Good deal at www.chike.com. 28 grams Protein and when mixed with 7oz skim milk, even more. Love it!

Dumping does not come up it goes down. Your pouch may not have liked what you ate, but it's not dumping.

Yeah. My surgery was on the eighth. I'm concerned I'm eating too much and too quickly. I'm not hungry but I know I need to eat and I'm not feeling full either unless I eat what seems like too much.

I'm in the exact same boat as you! Same surgery date too. I'm really only eating because I know I have to. I'd be content with nothing, I think. I do feel like I'm able to finish a drink or yogurt too fast but don't feel full. When I eat something like tuna, chicken or other meat, it sits really heavy. I dont like it, so I'm sticking to the mushy stuff for the most part. Blah!

      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.
