I admit I did have one of my favorite meals a few days before I started the liquids....to be honest I am so glad I did! I am one week postop at this point.

My surgeon told me to hold off except for Protonix....about 4 days after surgery I was able to take my chewable Vitamin, then I was told to wait til follow up at 3 weeks to discuss the rest of the Vitamins. I admit I was a bit nervous to swallow the first time after surgery but my nurse stayed with me to make sure I was ok.

What chewable Vitamin did u get is it good??

I was given Cenrtrum chewy Vitamins from the hospital (I'm one week after surgery). Easy to suck and I guess they're o.k if the hospital prescribed.

I bought the Bariatric Advantage French vanilla, it is kinda chalky but breaks down easy. The first few days I actually cut it into 4 pieces and took it at different times. I have heard that the chewy ones are better but my weight loss clinic was out when I went to purchase them.

      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.
