Awww' date=' try it again in a few weeks, it'll treat your stomach better, I believe that. How did it make you feel? Im on liquid, I'm scared to start the Protein shakes...but I'm going to follow the directions, hope you feel better.[/quote']

Hey... It tastes amazing!! Haha but a few hours later and even right now I am nauseated. It has definitely started to ease up, but its still there. Just annoying. Unfortunately, I know for a fact that I've barely had any fluids today, let alone, what my daily requirement is. I'm just going to keep sipping till bedtime then start new tomorrow.

Had surgery on Tuesday. I came home today feeling pretty good. Allowed to have full liquids however Protein Shake felt a little heavy. I've been working on Water most of the day. Crystal light isn't doing the trick. It's either too sweet or sour. Gas is not unbearable but a little uncomfortable. Hope everyone is recovering well and best of luck to those waiting for their surgery!

My surgery is June 26th and I'm on day 2 of the pre op diet. I'm so nervous and excited that I can barely drink the Protein Shakes.< /div>

I am the 25th and am on day three. Just had all my pre-surgery classes at the hospital today. SO much information! I am excited and nervous too!

Hi all! I have 3 days 15 hours and 55 minutes until my surgery!.....but whose counting? It sounds like everyone is recovering well....slow but well from surgery. I can't wait to be on the loosers bench with everyone. Question: Does everyone have a drainage tube when they leave the hospital or do they take it out there???

I had one in for a week and just got it pulled today. I was SO scared that it would be painful. Actually, I didn't even feel it once the whole time it was in and didn't realize when the nurse had pulled it out that it was done. Lol all in all, not a bad experience. The worst part was trying to shower with it. I figured out that if I pinned it on the shower curtain, it was a piece of cake. Haha

I'm not sure if this is the place to join, but I just found this forum today and what awesome information I've found! It has also been great to see that everyone so far has had pretty good experiences. I am having surgery on 6/19 (revision from lap band). I am 30 years old, mother to two little ones and I'm super nervous, but feel peace about my decision. I'm looking forward to sharing my journey with you!

      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.
