Mine is a capsule filled with a really fine powder. It's awful!!!! If I had a pill and could split it' date=' it would be cake.[/quote']

My doctor changed my script to the tablets. Ask your doc!

Oh man. Day 20 post op and I feel like crap. The last few days I've been tired' date=' low energy, low blood sugar (light headed when I stand up). I'm eating right, taking all necessary Vitamins, getting in my 64oz of Water. I think this surgery is finally kicking my ass![/quote']

Premier Protein shakes at costco have 30 grams Protein per shake I drink 2 a day I just split them up so I can get it all in. The energy will thrive then ;-)

Thanks I see him Friday. I'll ask of that's an option. My pharmacy had to special order it so they may only be able to get the capsules. Idk.

Hey All!

For those of you who had surgery in June just like me and are having some troubles just stay positive and know it can always be worse. I have been in and out of the hospital ever since my surgery on June 26th 2013. I had emergency surgery on August 2nd to repair a hole in my new stomach caused by an ulcer that perforated my mew stomach. I have been home from the hospital for two days now and each day gets better. The worst of it all is that I am very strictly NPO for 8 weeks so my stomach can heal. That means absolutely nothing to eat or drink I get all my nutrients from my pic line that is attached to a bag and the contents smells like rotten baby formula. Each day is getting.better but please stay positive and remember it can always be worse.. hang in there

Courtney

      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.
