that's quite a difference from mine D: I'm on it for four weeks before surgery. I'm already a week into it. my surgeon said it would reduce the size of my liver, which will help with the surgery.

do you have any other dietary restrictions before your surgery?

I'm two days post-op and feeling great! I think the worst part is the gas pain. Another person I met gave me some gasx strips and they do help. I read somewhere on this site that it feels like you did a killer ab workout and I would have to agree. Not bad at all though!

I'm glad you are feeling great. Today is 5 days post op and I'm miserable. I can't get enough Protein down. After I drink I feel so full I could vomit. Maybe it has to do from throwing up so much the day I had surgery ... maybe I have additional swelling? I'm starting to think I made a mistake. .

I had surgery on May 2nd. First time ever having surgery of any kind. I told the anesthesiologist hai and he gave me all 3 medications and a patch behind my ear to wear for 4 days. I was in the hospital 2 nights and was miserably fighting nausea and pain, my first day home was Ok and it got a little better the next day. But today, way better and I slept so much better last night I think everyone must have that point to overcome the pain where it's like you've made it to be other side of the mountain. I hope yours comes sooner than later. I do imagine all the stress of vomiting so early after surgery has increased the duration of your pain. Praying for a speedy recovery.

I'm sorry you're still feeling yucky. I threw up a lot too the day of surgery and the entire night but definitely better last night. I haven't started on Protein yet and I'm barely drinking anything because I get such bad gas pains when I do. I've heard it gets better. Chin up!! The end results are going to make it all worth it!

Hey Everyone! How are you doing? I had my surgery on 5/2 and am feeling fantastic! Very little pain. Typical gas but walking helps. Here is information on a Facebook private group. It has been an amazing support system for me. Hope to see you there!

      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.
