wow, you must have a really different thinking doctor! most doctor's require at least 1-2 weeks on liquids after surgery....

unless of course you aren't following your doctor's orders ...

losingjusme: I am having a difficult time following my Dr's orders because I feel absolutely the same way I did prior to surgery. I barely had any post op pain and my stomach feels exactly the same.

what you are in right now is called "Bandster Hell" ... see the search box up top (right next to new posts and quick links)? You may want to search for bandster hell.

this time is for HEALING and anchoring that band in place on your stomach. the more you eat, the more your stomach 'works' with digestion and the fewer chances it gets to anchor into place which can create problems in the future.

i strongly suggest you go back to liquids and follow your doctor's directions.

i am not saying that you WILL have problems, but i wouldnt want to go through surgery just to possibly mess it up.

Of course you are right. Thank you for your concern, I am trying, I really am. I just need to keep trying to beat the behavior that got me where I am...thank you.

      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.
