My tummy won't stop rumbling either! It rumbles so hard that it hurts.

Mine was really rumbling yesterday too. What can you have right now?

I can have any Clear Liquids like chicken or beef broth, Jello, Popsicles, coffee, and fruit juices. I'm on clear liquids for a whole week. I hope this gets easier.

I love my ocean spray 100% juice no sugar added cranberry grape.....I bought some Gelatin to make my own Jello with it. I am not a fan of jello brand sugar free jello.

I am on day 4 post op...I feel much better today than yesterday. Yesterday I still was pretty sore in my core ab area when getting up/down, no matter how I got up. Today, very little to no discomfort most of the time. I consumed more liquids today than yesterday so far....still not at 64oz. I will get there.

Glad you're feeling better today. I'm still sore in my tummy area too and out of breath. I'm also very hungry still. I just try to drink all day since I have no restrictions.

The Protein Shakes really have helped my hunger feelings. I know it will help you once you can have them too.

Are you able to consume the 64oz a day yet? Cause I am not. Just wondered.

[MestizaBander 43]

Yes I am. Drinking doesn't bother me at all. I'm drinking something every few minutes. Well it seems like it. I have a 7.5cc band with no Fluid right now. My doctor said I'm wide open.

I think it's because I had a hiatal hernia repair at the same time.

I had a hiatal repair too. Do you know if your doctor put Fluid in your band during surgery?

I don't think he did....he didn't say. I have a friend who used him as well and she can't remember. Haha.

Feeling even less sore today. Maybe today is the day for the full 64oz.

It was very simple. It didn't look the same as the restaurant, but was purer in form I think. It tasted great.

Another revelation today ....unflavored Protein powder in my cran-grape juice. Tasted like a fruit smoothie. Nutrition freak friend puts it in his Gatorade and I was like hmmmm....tried it and though praise The Lord, a Protein Drink without milk. Lol.
