thanks for all the feedback! ive been home a couple days now, and id have to say that everything is going good! the first couple days were really just pain medication hazed and i slept most of it while trying to walk around. today i went to Walmart with the hubby and kids, took about 3 hours total but i managed to walk the whole time, just took it slow and steady. ended up taking a couple hour nap right after getting home to recoup from it but man, was it nice to get out of the house and do something normal. the clear liquid diet hasnt been terrible, my hubby made an amazing ham and cabbage veggie Soup that he strained the broth from for me. i can easily sip on this liquid gold and not be sad, soooo much better than store bought.

i have tried very small amounts of my unjurry Protein Shake, it seams to be sitting well. i just have a sip or two of it in the morning. makes the best vessel for taking my crushed up prolocec (man is that stuff nasty..) its think enough to carry the powder without dissolving it instantly so i dont have alot of the taste.

Are you sure that the liquids have to be clear? Protein shakes are the way to go. I also went to the Chinese food place and got egg drop Soup but strained the eggs out. Delish!

while my surgeon was prepping me for discharge at the hospital he said that i could do Protein Shakes with skim milk or Water during the fist week, just have to strain it so there are no chunks. i have personally had better luck with the thin liquids on my stomach than the shake, it might also be that its a change of taste thing, im not liking it nearly as much as i did before surgery.

      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.
