Hey it's good to hear things are getting better fit everyone. I'm still in the clear liquid diet until Tuesday then poured foods. I can't wait.

Jennolsen I tried the Isopure , I ended up liking the cocituen a lot better so I'm supplementing my broth meals with that.

Still get tired but was able to get out of the house a couple of times. In California it's really hot right now so it's nice to get dress hair in the evening.

So anyone having bathroom problems sense surgery. I seem to only be having diarrhea and in very small amounts. I pee all the time. I know there isn't really anything in there to make a bm but I hate the diarrhea and I'm always afraid I'll be sick if I fart. This sucks.

Diarrhea here too. Same fears about accidents. I have read that when solids start this will get better. That isn't until a little over a week for me, don't know about you.

Yes, diarrhea here too. I didn't have a full bm until my 5 th day post op. That worried me. I added Fiber to my broths and that worked a little. I start nudge foods today. In excited that I can have yogurt.

9 days! I got to move to the next step this afternoon. I had a few tablespoons of yogurt for lunch and 4 oz. of Protein Shake for dinner. Totaled a whopping 11.5 grams of Protein. With a week of clears and now this I am sure I will be bald in a few months. My NUT didn't stress getting in protein at all. I'm a little concerned at how different all of the recommendations are from one doctor to another. Guess I should of asked more questions. I really thought I wanted to eat but my tummy hasn't felt quite right all day. Guess it just takes time.

      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.
