Lots of tiny sips....lots and lots and lots!!! I got a headache the first 2 days home and did a saline nasal rinse 2 days in a row. No more headache. I was also drinking A LOT of Water. I ate and drank nothing but Water, broth, and sugar free popsicles for 6 days. No Protein (at the requirement of my doctor). Listen to the doctor and your body and drink water!! I'm day 8 and back to work running a resort! I feel great with a little fatigue from limited calories, but it is totally worth it!!

I am on soft solid stage 1. Greek yogurt, fat free re fried Beans or Beans chewed really well, pudding, Protein shakes, scrambled eggs, cheese. I was told to try 1 new item per meal to make sure that my body can handle it. In 3-4 days I progress to soft solids stage 2, ground beef, lunch meat, chicken, cooked veggies. That is my life for the first month!! They said to take a small bite, chew really well and wait 1-4 minutes to make sure that your body is accepting the texture. It should take 15 mins to eat the few oz of food at each meal! Good luck on everything!!

I was burping on day 1 and passing gas on day 2, but I was doing lots of walking. I also slept sitting in a very elevated position until I could lay on my side. Gas was passed the best when I could lay flat with my knees as close to my chest as possible! I don't have any gas pain now and never had to use gas x, but it took about 1 week for the severe gas pain to subside with my band, and gas x was my bff. Both experiences were so different. Get better!! I hope this helps!!

I used a heating pad and the position you recommended and I had relief flowing in 5 minutes, life is much better. Did not know one could have so much gas from Drinking Water though.

So glad to hear you are feeling better!!! I forgot to mention that drinking hot liquids, broth, cider, hot tea, really helped any time I was feeling bloated. It sounds like you are in the right track!

      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.
