I think I'm about to liquify...all these darn liquids are getting on my nerves! I caved today and had a salad...at least it wasn't a cheeseburger or anything' date=' but I felt so weak. I'll be so glad when hunger is no longer an issue. Just a few more days now...[/quote']

Hang in there, you can do this!!!!

I wish I knew if I was feeling normal and that my progress was on track with people who are 3 days out from surgery. Maybe the 4th day will be better. Surgery was Wed.

Thanks! I had my crying spell the day after surgery. Going from iv meds to oral was a BEOTCH!!! Today was just blah. It's like they still in ur heads to get this much Fluid in and I promise it has to be impossible. But I feel like if I don't then I will instantly drop to the floor from dehydration. LOL. And then I've been sleepy and I think that's it - not enough liquids. HOWEVER, I am thankful for several things bc I do know it could be much, much worse. Waiting for that week mark - bc I feel like then things will be more normal feeling. How much r u drinking a day now?

Good morning surgery buddies....day 6 and everything is normal besides the tugging and aching at drain port. Thank God that is coming out tomorrow. I'm trying to get as much liquids in. I did about 30 ounces, plus factor in Soup, pop sicles and Jello so maybe a little more. My pouch doesn't like Protein Shakes. I need to figure out a way to get it in.

This may be TMI' date=' but I am curious. So, I am doing really well. Better than I could ever expect. I am getting in lots of Fluid and Protein. I started having gas a couple of days ago, but no bowel movement yet. Should I be concerned? I keep thinking there is really nothing in there to come out. :) Sorry for being so open. I tend to have no filter on my conversations.[/quote']

At this point, there's no such thing is "TMI" lol, all information goes along with recovery and its ok to inform us. I've heard many people say they didn't have a bowl movement the first few days or so, I read it was ok to take a supository.

They're letting me bust out of here today. My doctor thinks the spitting up is just swelling or spasms and will go away. I feel great other than when I get stuck like that. He doesn't seem too worried so maybe I need to just calm down and do my best and just get in what I can.

I'm almost embarrassed to say... But I have been around 20 oz. a day. I am determined to do 48 oz. today. Just no energy and down on myself. My family is eating, shopping and having fun and I'm just...here. My motivation song now is Marvin Sapp's My Testimony. I listen to it several times a day.

Anyone else who is post op have a sharp pain on their left side near the rib cage? I have been having this on and off since yesterday. I am feeling great otherwise, and I don't want to panic that it is anything major, but on the other hand... I want to stay on top of it.

Keep praying and receiving ministry of encouragement through songs and prayers, it will help you get stronger, remember God didn't bring you to this point to leave you. Be Blessed.

I know you're happy the drain comes out tomorrow! I have to wait til Wednesday, UGH! I've been getting down about 20 oz. a day. My mom mixed Protein Powder in my jello and pudding. But I've only had about an oz. each day. My husband and 4 year old ordered pizza last night ( my weakness) but it didn't bother me. So that's a plus! Also, I used your idea about the crystal light Popsicles. They are DELISH!!! Thanks a bunch :)

I'm not even worried about Protein at this point. I'd be happy if I can just keep down half of what I'm putting in. Such a shame because I feel so good otherwise. Hardly even have needed any pain medicine.

      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.
