I'm now 5 Days Post Op. Day 1 and 2 were really rough but since it's been fine. I'm so happy I went for it. I've been home from the hospital for 2 nights and gotten 30oz-40oz of Water down so far per day.

I've had 1 chocolate Premier Protein, got all 11oz down in about 30mins. I felt so full after its crazy! I've never felt full before in my life Hahahaha I had chicken broth with 20g of Protein last night, after 8oz I was stuffed.

What a great tool this is! The only bad part right now is I keep coughing which hurts so bad I'm still sore ouch!

After both c-sections, I had to use a pillow when I coughed. Or laughed. Or sneezed. I would gently press it against my abdomen during the cough and it cut the pain down about 60%.

@@tonwinton, how are you getting your Protein in? I am almost two months post-op and still struggle, so any info you are willing to share would be helpful.

I have been blessed to be able to get all Protein in. I drink 2 Protein Shakes a day. I have had a smooth recovery period. I sip all day on Water and protein shakes. I mix my protein shakes with Unjury unflavored Protein Powder for added protein. Nothing special, I'm one of the blessed ones whose new tummy is friendly at this time. I'm 4 days post op and still on liquids. Hope my tummy agrees when I move to the next stage of food texture.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
