My surgery was 9/21 and I'm so shocked to hear some people's stories who were within days of me. I'm not getting in 64oz. of Water or 60-80 g of Protein. My best day so far was 40 oz. of water and 40g of protein. Also kudos to those of you back to work. Week two is proving tough for me. I'm VERY weak and really tired.

yes it's hard to get all the fluids plus the protein. I was weak and tired. I started taking B12 and Vitamins And immediately started feeling better.

Sounds like we are in the same boat! I actually met my Fluid and protein goals one day. Then GI upset started and I've gotten about half the fluids and barely any protein the last two days. Had a clinic visit today and hoping things will look up soon. I'm also tired and weak. Hang in there!

Today is my second night in the hospital-- I am so surprised I have almost no pain! I ha r no problem getting my laps in and getting up for the bathroom---

The feeling of gas/bloating is bothering me- I can't seem to get it moving along!

I am still on IV fluids and haven't got close to the 40oz goal they want for me... They say I can be discharged before than, but that seems crazy!!

I had my surgery in the 28th and discharged the following evening. I have been doing better on my sips at home. When I woke up this morning,the gas pain was terrible. After moving around the house and some gas x, it got much better. I hope that those of you that had yours this week are doing well!

      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.
