I'm fascinated by all of our different processes after surgery -- some have Clear liquids for 2 weeks, others 2 days. Just a comment, no issues with it and not judging whether one is right or wrong -- just interesting to me!!

What type of nutrition plan do you have? Are you still on a clear liquid diet?

I had to finish the clear liquid diet before I left the hospital, but now I am going through the liquid part of the stage, I can drink broth, and 100% juices with half of Water. And I take the bus and Calcium and multi Vitamin. How about you?

I'm only 6 days in and I start Purée Diet in 2 days! (Sat) can't wait! I've had no complications and I'm getting all my liquids.

Keep doing a great job. I have to put it all in God's hands. But I am glad to meet people like you and the other ones on this app. God bless you and keep doing a great job.

I know the feeling. It was so freaking hard. I was so tired of Clear Liquids and the sugar substitute. I wasa getting this gross foamy sweet crap in my throat all the time. I got to a point I didnt want anything anymore. I was upset and angry about not being able to get full. This was just my experiance. I am sure it is different for many others but now being over 2 weeks out i am finally feeling better. I feel your pain and soon it will be over with. i promise. Just follow the program and focus on hydration.

      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.
