Wait, I stocked up on premier shakes. I thought that was my go-to drink for right after surgery. That and Water. Am I wrong?

Quick update. It's been one week since my rny bypass. I *was* diabetic. My blood sugar is now completely normal, and I've been off medication since 2 days before my surgery. This was my primary goal. I'm overjoyed, to say the least! So is my primary doctor!

I've been doing my premier shakes since I came home. Hard to get them down, but I'm chugging along!

my post op plan calls for one shake per day, sipping throughout the day but it doesn't count as a meal. I will have 5 1-2 oz meals of full liquids throughout the day. I mostly bought my cases of Premier Protein for my pre op diet, but I can save them and use them in the future as well.

@@edie091371 I've have my gall bladder and appendix removed previously and didn't have the gas issue related with abdomen surgery so I'm hoping my good luck continues. It's good to see that everyone's surgeries are going well.

Just wanted to to share a product I found. It's Protein Water called Protein2O!!! 16.9oz, 15g protein per bottle, 70 calories. It's amazeballs!!! My favorite it berry Splash, then Grape Splash, then the Lemon Splash. You can kinda taste the protein in the lemon, but it's not undrinkable. I found them at my local grocery store Kroger's, but you can also find them at Walmart and Vitamin World.

Congratulations @Deneah. That must be a wonderful feeling? I've been reading from so many posts that it can be so very different to keep your numbers under control.

Well everyone I am seriously hoping that today will be the day I get to go home from the hospital. All my tests have come back looking good so hopefully I will be released. I am actually feeling pretty good today and the pain is definitely abating. I hope you are all doing great.

      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.
