Nope, nothing crazy, regular font... That's odd.

At 8 days out I was just starting purees. As soon as I got to soft foods at three weeks, I felt so much better. I started getting some energy and felt as if I was actually going to recover. Hang in there, buttercup.

Welcome @Watcherloseit! If your on your 8th day post op, then in my opinion the worst is over. For me, the first week was the worst. Between the pain, nausea, gas and a few tears I was so happy to have that week over! I am so excited for you Watcherloseit! Move through your surgeon's recommended phases slowly, don't try to add foods too early. If you follow the plan, meet your Protein and Water intake goals, take your Vitamins and remember to stop drinking fluids 30 min before a meal and 60 min after you will do amazing. It does seem overwhelming at times, but as each day passes it just becomes a part of your daily routine. Ask a lot of questions, the veterans and newbies on this site all have a wealth of information and are extremely supportive.

      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.
