I was back in hospital for a week. Got home a couple of days ago. They inserted an Ng tube down my nose to my small bowel and am being fed 24/7 that way. They are hoping it wakes things up. I am able to tolerate some liquids finally. If this works may remove tube in a couple of weeks and be on my own so we will see.

Thanks for the update, Cowboy. Sorry about the NG tube, but if it works, give it a little caress from your peeps at Bariatric Pal. Will keep you in my prayers.

Ty. Tried Protein Shake for first time this morning but threw it up so worried again as I should be able to tolerate? Maybe I drank to fast? Does that happen?

Yes it does. I had to drink out of medicine cups when I first started. Take one teeny sip, wait 2 minutes. If the tummy doesn't rebel, take another. it would take forever to drink 2 ounces, but I kept everything down.

      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.
