Sounds like you're doing great on the drinking liquids and walking , etc. I felt a little wobbly for the 1st 2 days, then the 3rd day took a tiny walk outside in the fresh air, and started feeling really good . From there it just got better and better ! Hope your journey goes as smoothly as mine did, its all been soooooo worth it ! Im healthy and getting stronger everday ! Good luck to you !!!

After you get back on solid foods you will have to experiment to see what you can and can not eat. There is no food I can't eat. Yes, there are some I should not eat. Those being sugar, white flour, high carb sweets and junk food. Fast food was never an issue so don't go there. For me it is chocolate items such as cakes, pies, etc. Never meant a chocolate I didn't like. Yes, we can eat anything,b ut do you want this to work? work with dietitian and get a good food plan you can follow.

      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.
