Thank you. I keep reading all my material they gave me about the stages and checking that I have everything. During the Clear Liquids can I add unflavored Protein to broth?

Just walking and sipping away. Trying to keep my mind off of the pain from my incision. I got pain medication but it is horrible tasting! Other than that and being sleepy I'm OK so far

I could not do the liquid pain medicine either. (Tylenol with codeine) It was so horrible tasting & burned going down. It just wasn't worth it to take it. I called my surgeon & he said to try taking Tylenol PM or extra strength Tylenol in pill form. He said that as long as it's not a horse pill, it will be fine...and it was. Took very little Water with it & it went down fine. Only took it at night for the first couple says home to help me sleep better. Hope you have a speedy recovery!!!

      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.
