Doing much better today. No pain medicine taken at all. Only thing bothering me is my drain. It comes out next Wednesday. Water still makes me nauseous, so drinking my Protein shake. Happy Halloween :)

bigbeauty78...I definitely didn't do well with Protein yesterday but I left the hospital at 2 and left my drink there and didn't get home till 4. My chocolate drink stayed down but I felt like I was drinking it forever. Today is my first full day at home and I started with Water because of my thyroid meds...but I will start protein about 7:15 I hope I can do pretty good...it is all laid out on the counter. I can't do cold it hurts right now. I hope we both do good with fluids and protein today. Pain is minimal but I can't overdo it.

Glad you made it home. I'm on full liquids now. Starting to feel a bit hungry, thinking it's more of head hunger tho. I'm doing pretty good with eating ice pops. Down 7lbs since surgery on Monday. Good luck!!!!

Bigbeauty78...wow you are on full liquids?? We have 2 weeks clear, 2 weeks full, 2 weeks purees and 2 weeks soft foods. Which means I will lose quite a bit before I go back to work lol I am just now balancing out to my pre-op weight but they said that would happen.

I had 2-3 days clear and now 1 week of full. I was able to drink a Premier Protein shake today. Got in at least 30 grams of Protein. The doctor had me drinking Clear Liquids the day of my surgery, after my swallow test looked good. Hang in there friend!

      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.
