6 days out and I can't even get 2 Protein Drinks or yogurt in a day. I am trying but by the afternoon I don't feel good at all for the rest of the day. Then today I started diarrhea. This sucks. Any suggestions?

Hang in there. Each day does get better and the diarrhea is totally normal. Don't trust a fart! Just try and drink slowly and often. If you are drinking shakes try Isopure or the whey shots at Walmart. Those might be a little easier for you to get down. You can only use half of the whey shot because of how much Protein are in them. Put it in a crystal lite drink or sf koolaide they are best that way. If you can drink shakes Premiere protein will get you 30g per drink and taste really good. You can get those at Sam's, costco and BJ's. Just remember it will get better and if the diarrhea is bad try some imodium if your doctor says that it is okay. :)

I'm in your boat.

I was happy the surgery made me constipated for a dew days.

But, that has worn off & back to not trusting farts.

Ready to move to pureed so this will stop.

I did swap milk for coconut milk but no better.

:(

allons-y

      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.
