It does pass! I promise. But the best thing to do is to walk as much as possible. I also used chewable gas x too.

Things are good. I'm just sick of these liquids lol. I can manage colder drinks now, where initially it would cause me pain. I still get tired quickly and lightheaded if I do too much walking or standing. My bariatric partner says its normal because my calorie intake is soooo much lower. She says sip sip sip all day if I have to. As much as I need to. Just stay hydrated. I feel myself getting better and stronger each day. I'm using the bathroom good, even though I'm not eating. Who knew lol.

Looking forward to my 2 week post op appt so I can move on to the next two week diet which will be full liquids But at least I'll be able to have more things. I'll be on puréed/soft diet weeks 5 & 6. I'm bored, but I'm starting to appreciate the pace. Don't want to do too much too soon, allowing me to heal properly and get my new stomach used to this new life

      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.
