So I'm almost 5 weeks post op. Pain after surgery was intense but short lived. Been fine since. Can eat but today was the first time I really didn't want to. I have been really good about the Protein Shakes but couldn't do it today. Felt yucky all day. Just didn't want to eat or drink. Felt like I would get sick so something. Just having a rough day so thought I would share with people who may understand and not look at me with worry every time a headed to the bathroom. FYI I finally ate after Christmas mass. It did make me feel better but I know I didn't get in all my liquids and Proteins. Needed to vent. Now I can shake my self off and get back on track!

Good for you for not beating up on yourself. You're already focused on getting it done tomorrow. I'm only 11 days post surgery, and I've already had a day like you describe. I just couldn't face all that Protein. I decided to give in to it for one day. Luckily liquids aren't a problem for me, and I did get a shake in and all my Water. I told myself this was one day and I got back up the next day and have done well since. I wrote out what I was going to eat the next day, and was sure to start the day with a 30gm shake. This got me back on track. It sounds to me like you are back on track as well.

I had a horrible day with Fluid and Protein too. I also had some weird stomach issues.

Tomorrow will be better for us!

      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.
