I didn't know that being on Protein Shakes and eating 4 ounces of high Protein food every 3 hours and then breaking it yesterday and having chicken nuggets would make me this sick today. I feel awful!!

Were the nuggets fried? Fried food made me sick on my pre-op diet and I have not had anything fried since my surgery. Also after the surgery you will want to be careful introducing new foods to your stomach. I have learned the hard way to introduce new things on days I will be home all day. Even if it tastes good and doesn't make you nauseous if your new tummy doesn't like it, it will leave your body without notice in the form of diarrhea. I believe they call it dumping. That didn't mean I could never ever have it, it just means my stomach wasn't ready for it yet. The first time I have nuts and cheese, stuff fell out of my body mercilessly. Now I tolerate them fine.

      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.
