Crystal Light fruit Punch has been my savior. Plain Water tastes weird to me now. I used to love to chug water. :'(

I am so sorry you are having another issue with your baby.

Thanks Mel3620, I did it to myself, yesterday, I didn't chew correctly, food got stuck and made me sick the rest of the day, this morning im able to hold down the meds and Water. However, I'm having some discomfort in the bottom of my stomach, I'm going to pump liquids today and see if that helps. I hope you're feeling good.

I went through this' date=' and still some things taste nasty. Just keep trying different things. I have come across a few Protein Drinks I can handle again, but it took a few weeks.[/quote']

I'm so glad to hear it's not just me. I will just keep going!! :-)

I am doing pretty good. I had an incident on Saturday night. It was my first real party since having surgery, and although I didn't go as crazy as I would have before surgery... Herman was still not happy with me! I was miserable for part of the night, but after I was able to throw up... much better! I don't know if I just ate too many different things or it was that last piece of chicken tender. (It was a little dry)

Since I have been back to work, my insides are gurgling like a leaky pipe! I'm thinking of calling my reroute "Chatty Patty"! I'm trying to be really careful about swallowing air when I drink and not drink to fast. Any suggestions???

Yeah, that last piece will get us every time. I spoke to my nurse this morning, He fussed at me, gave me a tongue lashing, lol and then he put me on liquids and pureed food for the next 2 to 3 weeks, Damn....he said my stomach is a little tighter than most, that I have to give it chance to stretch without the added drama.

      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.
