Is anybody else allowed to have Greek yogurt? It hasn't been too bad for me with yogurt, Soup, and Protein shakes. Are you guys doing broths at all? Have you bought any to prep for after? I'm doing my last bit of shopping this weekend and want to see if anybody has good ideas or brands. =)

I can only have Protein Shakes, half cup of fruit and half cup of veggie a day on my 2 week diet. Then the day before Clear Liquids and citrate of magnesia. The hospital will send me home with a short supply of Protein Shakes and I'll buy little by little once home and see what I tolerate. :)

That doesn't sound too bad! I wish I could have fruit and veggies. I miss bananas! They didn't tell me to do Clear Liquids the day before but I think I'm going to anyway!

I have done ok with the Jay Rabb Protein powders. Also like the EAS protein powders too. This hasn't been horrible for me. Am going to clear liquids probably Sunday clear out colon and clear liquids Monday. I have gotten a few things for post surgery. Am considering ordering the Unjury broth too...

Thanks! =) I've been doing the EAS Protein Shakes and the Premier Protein ones. I was thinking about getting Unjury too, because I have a hard time getting Protein in.

It's normal to be a bit scared - I was! I mean, it IS surgery. But it's a very simple surgery and I had surgery one week ago today and feel really good. I had a small complication with an ab muscle that bled, so that area is sore, but it's nothing serious at all. I have also lost about 5 pounds. :D

Congrats! That's great. =) I'm so nervous because I had to get cleared by a cardiologist for chest pain I was having. They said I was all set but it still makes me nervous! I'm also very scared of leaks!

My surgery is also on the 26th. I have been on the pre-op diet for two weeks and start clear liquids in the morning. I have my Jello, broth, and popsicles all ready to eat. I will be glad to get the next four weeks behind me. Very worried about getting in all of the Water and Protein. Best of luck to everyone. Praying that Tuesday is a great day for surgery.

I hate Jello so I'm a little nervous about post-op but I've been living on Protein Shakes and Greek yogurt so far and it's been good. Good luck!!

I had gastric band surgery in 2004. I will be having conversion to sleeve on the 28th. I have also had a c section and I will tell you recovering from band surgery was a walk in the part compared to c section.

So surgery all done and I'm in my room. More painful than I thought it was going to be. On morphine and still very achy. Also nauseous so on some meds for that. But I'm trucking through and have already done 3 laps around my wing. How is everyone else?

That's great to hear you are up and walking, it will benefit you greatly. Walk, drink, pee go home :)

      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.
