My recovery has been ok, lots of gas! (TMI) so I have been doing a lot of walking and taking gas x strips. Just wondering are you suppose to be this gasy and when does it go away? And im starting to be hungry more than I thought I would, I would never eat nothing that would land me back in the hospital, but any ideas of what to try? Chkn broth is gettin boring.LOL

Are you allowed a full liquid diet or just clear? I was on full liquids the first week. I enjoyed low fat/low sugar Greek yogurt (no fruit in it). Light and fit Greek yogurt is good. They have a toasted coconut vanilla that is really good. I was also allowed cottage cheese and ricotta cheese. I mixed both with garlic salt and heated it up in the microwave. Also Tomato basil Soup mixed with unflavored Protein Powder. I was sick of the broth before I even left the hospital, so I had to get creative!

Not a full diet, a "full liquid" diet. It's still basically liquids, just thick liquids. Things like milk, cream Soups, yogurt and pudding are usually allowed on the full liquid, but not on clear liquid. Every surgeon is different, but adding just those few extras made it much easier for me. Otherwise I would have just lived on Protein Drinks.< /p>

I am 5 days post op and am on a full liquid diet. I am SO SICK of dairy. I'm lactose intolerant and have been using lactaid, but I'm still majorly grossed out by milk. I would KILL for plain toast or crackers!

5 days post op you should be on liquid, trying to get some Protein through a Protein Shake (or adding protein powder to stuff.) The hospital I went through thankfully gave me recipes - Even with the recipes though, I'm sooo bored w/dairy! Including yogurt and everything. I did have blended Soup today, which was a good break. Tomorrow I'm going to try oatmeal. WHEE! :)

I'm just starting full liquids tomorrow... Just Isopure for me for the past week. I can't believe that I'm excited for a regular Protein shake... May even go crazy and add a teaspoon or two of pb2! Woohoo! Really, I'm excited, lol! Very grateful to whomever put together the huge list of Protein Shake recipes... There are so many that I'd like to try!

I'm not gassy, but I have had HORRIBLE diarrhea!!! Actually had a bit of a sharting incident on my couch. God love my husband for helping me clean that up! Be careful w/the gas... because what you think is gas might end up being more as I sadly discovered. lol.

      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.
