Yes....easier than the pre-op 2 weeks since you're actually full after having a shake :)

I was sleeved on June 16th and was allowed to come home on the 18th. I have to admit that I am struggling with trying to get my liquids and Protein in. Everything I drink makes my stomach cramp. Maybe this is because my stomach is till swollen. Anyone else have the same issue?

I had some slight cramping on day 1 and 2 but it has altogether subsided. Give it time and let things heal!

Boy, I hope my surgery and immediate recovery goes as swimmingly as yours has. That's great to contemplate.

I think I'll visualize that. And visualize it some more. :)

      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.
