I am having troubles with getting in enough fluids I can only get down 17 ounces of fluids a day!! Tonight was the first time I ate 1 ounce of scrambles eggs felt very full!!! It's a little hard for me to drink Water or anything!!! Stomach is still a bit achy and swollen. Everyday it gets better!!! Tomorrow I will try cream of wheat:) looking forward!!

Seems a little soon to be eating eggs and hot Cereal. I was sleeved the 9th and can't do purée type foods until week two. And I'm glad bc I have a hard enough time staying hydrated. You doctor said It was ok to eat those things this soon? Just remember your tiny pouch is still healing :)

I know I felt that I should eat either, but my nurse called me and told me I should be eating 3 small meals!!! I only took 3 bites and I actually feel a bit sick now!!! I am not even drinking much yet!!! I won't be eating until week 2 no matter what the nurse said!!!

Yeah gas has been hurtin a lot but I feel less and less bloated each day. Walk around to keep it moving through. Warm liquids will also help with the gas pain. I've been warming up broth and tea for that. Is stick to liquids if I were you. I've been doing clears and workin in a little Protein Shake daily. Next week will be mainly purée foods and Protein Shakes.

Glad to help. One more tip: use a heat pack on your abdomen for gas pain.... It's heavenly. Rest up!

      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.
