Finally discharged from the hospital and home. Man it feels good to sit on my own couch. The staff at the hospital was super no complaints and everything went really well. Sipped my first liquid loretab, not too bad. Wishing everything goes as well for everyone else.

That's wonderful' date=' did she say why you didn't have to do liquids first? Im just curious[/quote']

She said I have done well enough with Clear Liquids that she feels I am fine to go right to soft foods. I haven't had any nausea or vomiting so just stomach seems to be tolerating things well. So, of course, I grabbed a Decaf iced coffee with cream on my way home from my appt and I've been so nauseated ever since! Ugh!

They told me to do it in my belly and showed me how in the hospital. Every doctor is different. Is it Lovenox they gave you?

Awww, 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.

I got my diet progression today too. Going from clears to Protein Shakes, yogurt, and Soup. I'm fine with the soup but the other two went straight through. I'm sure it will get interesting soon.

      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.
