Woot! Congrats on your surgery. I am 3 weeks post-op myself. Gas pains will go away, easiest way is to get up and walk. Doesn't have to be far, but keep at it. A little bit further each day. Listen to your body.

Protein is extremely important. For most, it's around 60grams per day, so the shakes and powders will help. I added powder to broth for the first few days after coming home. Slowly moving to shakes and other fun things like cream of wheat.

Take things slow. You should be VERY careful about how much you consume, especially during the first couple weeks. 1/4 cup at max at any point for anything. Else, you're likely to feel the most horrid pains. Make those gas pains you're having seem like childs play. :)

Best wishes

Ian

      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.
