3 days post op , I'm doing great besides the soreness. She had to fix a hernia so had a double whammy . But other than that doing great , 8 lbs gone since surgery . I'm not hungry at all , I guess it's a good thing ! I take a couple sips of Water and I'm good for hours . Then I'll do Jello , only two small bites and it holds me up for hours. I only eat cause I have too, cause I don't get hungry at all , is this normal and should I be taking in more ?

I'd say don't worry too much about your intake right now. Listen to your body, don't overdo it! Do try to sip Water always, though. Getting dehydrated is scary and dangerous

Remember, your insides were carved to s**t and your injuries are very fresh. It can be hard to consider because the outside tummy only shows a few little incisions.

I am PO day 10 and I was definitely concerned about my intake (still am). Just really "listening" to my new stomach has helped. I've even set my phone's timer to remind me to try and eat again.

Best to you!

Tea I figured I'd just take it easy and just getting a little in is better than nothing . I also have the bubbling and gurgling feeling when the Water and or Jello is going down . Wonder if that stays

The gurgling/roiling does fade. Mine isn't completely gone, but it is much better than on day 3.

      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.
