I'm not going to lie the first night home was a little rough but luckily my husband and daughter have turned into Little Nurses so they helped me out a great deal. I've decided it's much easier to stay in my recliner than in the bed. the family had to go back to school and work today but they set Everything up around my chair for me. I'm starting to feel better now.

@@BellaLuce4 Thank you. I'm surprised how much I can actually get down. I had 20oz of coconut Water, 4oz Of plain water and 4oz of Isopure. Better than I thought it would be. I also had 1 tablespoon of Fage 2% plain yogurt mixed with another tablespoon of chobani banana Greek yogurt. It was delicious. I just ate really slow and I was able to get it all in. I'm not pushing it though. I'm just sipping water for the rest of the night!

Be careful with the coconut Water once you are healed and eating cause it has a high sugar content. For now it's prob great for your body. Sounds like you are doing really good!!! So happy for you????

@@BellaLuce4 Oh I probably won't drink it to much after just for that reason I just use it now because I'm not even getting in 400 Calories with it. I don't care too much for sugar free products so I'm trying to stay as natural as I can. This is just for now. I like Water too this is just a nice change from plain water I don't "love" my Isopure but I make myself drink a few oz just for the Protein benefits. I will be glad when some time down the road I can eat My protein instead! I'm looking forward to that!

      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.
