I am feeling a bit stronger still on clear liquids my surgery was on 5/20? How long before you went to full liquids? Would love to have a shake

That's good to hear Lily! It varies for some people. My Dr allowed me to have skim milk with my Protein Shake in the first week. I am on post op day 5. I tried it with Water and it was just horrible :/

Is anyone off pain meds completely? I was trying to do just Tylenol but after I walk a lot I'm still getting pretty sore.

I've only had Tylenol with codeine this whole time :( I just take it at night. The soreness is starting to pass.

I've been on Tylenol only. Since I am on antibiotics in had diarrhea last night. So I stayed in the shower until the imodium kicked in. I woke up about 1:30 pm but I am still nervous what the day will bring. I still have 5 days left on antibiotics.

      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.
