We must think alike. I also bought the 4 oz cups with lids. And the pill sorter.

Good luck Gina. You made a great choice to have surgery. It's a major surgery so we need to allow time to heal.

I was also very shocked at how my body felt the first few days. I was sleeves on 6/1 and feel so much better each day!

You can do it!!!

You can have milk. But only if your new tummy can handle it. Start with skim. Maybe try adding a Protein chocolate powder to give it a try.

Everyone is different.

I am starting on Pure Protein tomorrow as I'll be day 5 post op.

I feel the same way! I am 2 days post op. I had a very hard time of it at the hospital. Had to stay another night. Pain meds made me vomit. I am trying to figure out my schedule as well!

It gets SO much better. Little by little you will be able to drink those fluids and get those pills down. take it very slowly and DO not challange the pouch. just sip, see if you do better with hot versus cold drinks. My dr. told me this in the hospital and I found out for myself that my stomach does better with hot tea than cold tea. sometimes i crave ice tea and i have it but notice i have to drink much smaller sips of the cold versus the hot. follow your dr's intake guide. smooth food, no lumps or bumps it will really help. I remember puree cottage cheese was my friend as was greek yogurt as it has more Protein versus the regular Protein. I also remember that i could only eat about 1/2 of a small single serving yogurt and felt sooooo full. but it gets better. just get those fluids in. congratulations on your very brave decision.

Finally! Got some greek yoghurt down and it made such a difference! And got a shower, washed my hair! Cleaned the bathroom and did the dishes. Drain wound healing lovely. Phew! Once the gout stops hurting so bad, life might go on!

      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.
