Thanks. I thought it was another thread and that was in the pre op thread. My mind is off on it's own tangent.

I think I'm 5 days post op now and i cannot get enough liquids in. Plus am on clears until Wednesday. I am struggling, not gonna lie. So far been harder than i expected but i know it will get better. Especially once i am allowed to get some Protein shakes! It will all be worth it! Take time to let your body heal and be strong. We got this.

Thanks for sharing Jeremy! Can I ask why it's difficult to get your liquids in? Is it painful? Or difficult to digest? I'm curious to know what to prepare for. You're doing great!

I'm struggling with getting enough fluids too. At least I'm allowed ricotta cheese, cream Soups, Jello, pudding etc too but I'm still only averaging about 300-400 calories a day and struggling with enough water. It feels like so much work to constantly sip sip sip. I sometimes forget for a couple hours at a time.

Been kinda rough...gotta admit. I cant get near the fluids in i need. I still cant even tell when i am full until i have a stomach ache. And that is just from drinking small amounts of fluids. Not sleeping much either. How about you?

Longing for pudding and cream soups! Lol . Lucky you. I did walk a mile today in 2 trips combined. Just wish i was feeling a bit better by now. I dont go back to work until the 15th so hoping recovery speeds up. I have lost 7 lbs since surgery so i guess that is a good thing

7 pounds is great. The cream Soups are nice. After sweet shakes, Protein Waters, Jello and pudding. I miss savory food and salt haha.

I'm off work until December 14th. I actually will probably be fine to go back sooner but my doctor started off work worst case scenario if 6 weeks since I get short term disability.

Are you allowed Tylenol? That has made a world of difference for me. I take the pm one at night and had my first good sleep last night.

One day at a time. We can do this!

      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.
