Because your stomach is tiny and stapled, I would call your Dr. asap. You don't want to have bleeding internally or a tear or something of that kind. And don't worry about what your Dr. will say - your life is more important!

Kayla, I don't know who would have given you the instruction to start solid foods so soon post op. 6 weeks is the norm. You have to give your stomach time to heal. Eating too much too quickly is a sure bet that complications can happen.

Stop with the burgers, stick with Protein shakes and give yourself a few more weeks before any kind of bread. Good luck.

OUCH! I agree -- call your doctor and make a recommittment to do the right thing -- FOLLOW the PLAN!!! If you do, you'll be so much more successful, feel better sooner and be much more successful losing weight.

You can do this -- just follow the rules! Nothing tastes so good it's worth hurting yourself.

      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.
