I am 6 days post op today and am having really no problems except for diarrhea. I am still on liquids except for one small serving of creamed Soup this evening. Does anyone else have this issue? Sorry for the TMI!

I remember when I was banded I had diarrhea for several days. Dr told me liquids in liquids out. Remember to drink your Water and try and stay hydrated

Hi everyone. Just wanted to check in. I had my surgery on May 7th. I'm on full liquids and am doing great with getting my liquids and Protein in. It gets easier, I promise! I'm still in quite a bit of pain on the left side, which may be nerve damage from a slipped drain. We are just watching it now and hoping it eases up. Part of it, I'm sure, is having four kids and not resting as I should. I'm down 11 pounds from surgery weight, 29 from pre op diet start. My clothes are definitely fitting better! Also, I have completely stopped snoring!

Sorry I haven't been around that much. I keep getting annoyed with myself. After months of waiting and thinking of practically nothing but this surgery, my mind is exhausted. Lol! I'm reading along and cheering you all on, though.

So, I can officially say I'm starting to loose. I lost 16 pounds just on the pre-op diet, but I gained 10 in the hospital from all the fluids. I've finally lost that 10 plus 1.....so am I done just 1 lb? or 17? Either way, I'm down so I guess it doesn't matter. Yeah.....I'm told it only gets better from here....also, today is my last day of full liquids, start Puree stage tomorrow. Never thought I'd be so excited about putting cottage cheese in my mouth.

      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.
