Hey Double J it seems I remember seeing a pic of your Jeep on here a couple of weeks ago. I'm currently working on a 64 Gladiator. Good to see a fellow Jeepster on the board. Good luck in your post op ventures.

I'm still an extreme noob to all this...not having my first consultation until the beginning of November, so if you don't mind my asking, why is it hard to get your fluids in immediately after surgery? Does your stomach hurt? Is your throat sore? Are you just not hungry?

For me, I did have a sore throat after surgery, but also everything was swollen, so I had to take the tiniest sips of Water and wait a minute in between each sip. That was the only way I could get fluids the first day.

      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.
