I think tuna is just heavy on the pouch. But it keeps me fuller longer.

I'm not doing great with cold liquids. I can do My puréed food fine but the shakes and cold Water gurgles all the way down, and I'm just doing little sips slowly. It takes me two hours to get a cold Protein Shake down. What has been working for me is warm liquids. I have been mixing my chocolate Protein Powder in Decaf coffee under 140 degrees though or else it clumps. i have been drinking warm decaf green tea instead of water. For a while I was doing the Unjury chicken Soup Protein powder warm but then I realized it is full of sodium, like 750 per cup so I am trying not to do that as often. It's so weird I used to love to guzzle ice cold water but it just doesn't work for me now even sipping at a snails pace.

Ate it twice and that happened to me. :( Today I did chicken (in a can) salad, and it was so good. No problems with that.

Been a good day eating and drinking wise today, but I have a monster headache! It's one of those headaches where you can't open your eyes. I have been taking my liquid percocet and it hasn't helped.

That's why my doctor prescribe me some because he said he does not want to take the change that's why I said to call your doctor because your pouch is still healing

Yeah, my doctor gave me enough nausea meds to last for months! I used them a couple of times, since certain food smells were overwhelming when I first came home.

I haven't gone # 2 since my surgery on the 29th is that normal? Sorry for TMI!

It's weird, especially if you're used to going regularly. It took me 5days, and then it was in the evening. I felt so much better afterwards, but I never felt like I had to go. My nurses said it was normal, sometimes even 5-7 days for some people.

Officially on my first stall. I knew it would come, so I'm not bummed. I'll just wait it out.

      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.
