Good luck. I'm out a week and sicker than a dog

I am beginning to question if I even had the surgery. No pain, no nausea, can once again sleep on my stomach...just weak from very little food and always hungry! Starting stage 2 today, so cream of wheat was good. Cooking potato and fresh peas and will purée together for lunch. Sweet potato for supper with a bite of tuna fish. See if that helps.

That's crazy that you're hungry. I don't think I will ever be hungry again! I constantly feel full! I have to force myself to eat a couple bites of yogurt at mealtimes.

I can't get my Protein in at the most 20 g a day

I have to keep focused in that as well. I got tired of the milk based shakes. Went to syntax nectar and drink something call fuzzy navel, And another called Caribbean Cooler. I also go to the Click decafe expresso Protein Powder. I put that with ice and blend in my nutri bullet. Tastes just like Starbucks frappacino..... Well kinda. :-) ha

I had my surgery on Thursday June 19, 2014. I was released on Saturday and I have to say, Friday, Saturday, Sunday AND Monday I was miserable. Bad case of buyers remorse! But here it is Tuesday and I feel fine. The Protein Shakes make me gag but I can stomach them for a while! Glad I did this!

It's funny how all doctors are different when it comes to the stages of food we can eat. I was sent home and told I could have all Clear Liquids and Protein Shakes. Today I started all liquids which only added on yogurt, cream Soups and farina. On July 4 I start mushies and on the 20th I can have all foods except fresh fruits and veggies. Can't have them until middle of August. Weird!

      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.
