Try some Imodium ad liquid form because you are on liquids , it's liquids in & liquids out , just wait till you start having the trumpet gas LOL you'll find that out later & gas x strips help , so I've heard , good luck.

Totally normal. This will pass along with impressive gas. The first 10 days are a slow process, but then you'll see big improvements. Hang in there and take it easy. The discomfort will go away.

Thx. I sure do hope that this all gets better. Sometimes I get to the point of where I think I made the biggest mistake. I'm praying it gets better

wow you had surgery? I haven't been here in a while. congratulations! having second thoughts is normal I think. I thought the same thing. It's going to take more than a few days to feel well. I took 5 weeks off work and am glad I did. I do a lot of lifting at work so I had to. walk as much as you can. just take it easy. read as much as you can on your band. good luck on your journey.

      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.
