One thing I am finding interesting is how different the protocols are between different doctors. Some say no coffee, no caffeine some say it's ok. Some no catheter or drain, some get both. I had a 1 night say but my niece had 3. Some people begin having to shovel down Protein drinks in the first day, some gradually ease into the shakes.
I just find it interesting that we have the exact same type of surgery but different protocols.
Don't ya'll?

I agree, it is confusing. It just makes me think we have to use discretion with all things. Listen to your doctor but I think you have to also know yourself and do more research. I believe doctors learn new things concerning this surgery all the time and they make changes based on new information.

So true Dee. I think this also helps us in our journey to experiment with foods. Each body is different, each jirney different. [emoji4]

      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.
