The best thing you can do is to call your doctor and tell them what happened. Your doctor is in the best position to help you deal with the aftereffects of what's been done or (more likely, perhaps) help you through your present discomfort and give you peace of mind.

You're brave! Haha I wanted food so bad and the hunger pains were uncontrollable. I stuck to an all liquid diet for about 3 weeks but around 2 weeks I made the mistake of getting too comfortable and ate a piece of string cheese. Just literally, ONE bite off of it and chewed it really good. I had a huge rock/knot feeling in my stomach all night and in the morning, I was really nauseous. I could barely drink for about 2 days. My best advice is to wait 24 to 48 hours and go to all liquids (sip slowly) and if that doesn't resolve it, phone your doctor.

      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.
