Hello, I'm a newby as well. I had a gastric bypass surgery on Monday September 11th, 2017. Today is post op day 6. I'm still on Clear Liquids but start full liquids tomorrow. I'm not supposed to start the Protein Shakes until I see the Surgeon on Wed. I'm very weak and I have a lot of pain. I'm struggling to take care of myself because my family is not involved at all. I don't have all of the energy that I'm reading about. I'm 67 years old and I have end stage kidney disease and my blood count dropped from 9 to 7. So I'm sure these factor in to my fatigue. I'm trying to stay positive and uplifted but it's so difficult.

      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.
