Patience is key. I'm two weeks out. Last week I was lamenting not being able to have Water (it wasn't settling well so I was mostly hydrating with broth, G2 and sf Popsicles. Then I was able to have room temp water, a victory. And starting last night I was able to have cold water! I was silly to get hung up on it and think I'd never be able to have it again!

Long story short - everyday gets better! Be patient and kind to yourself. You'll get better and better each day that passes.

Also, walk, walk, walk as soon as possible after surgery as much as possible.

Ditto this! I had surgery Monday. Stay flexible and patient. Be kind to yourself. Every day HAS gotten better.

Today is my first full day home from the hospital and I'm finally on track to get all my fluids and Protein, a victory for me!

I'd never had surgery and was surprised both by how miserable I was and how quickly I could improve.

Make sure you have help at home. My dad is taking care of me and was scheduled to leave today, but he's staying cause I need him longer. He helps take care of my dogs, picks things up from the floor, brings me things when all I can bear to do is lay down, all little but frequent needs.

Also, it has helped me to sip little bits of my protein at a time and alternate with water. Before I tried to have too much protein at once and had greater GI distress.

And it's true, walking in the hospital always made me feel better.

      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.
