Jaadan79. I know all drs are different. Just reading these threads and reading when people are eating the different stages is SO different from what my dr says.

That being said, have you called your dr about your throat? My dr only wants his office to see his patients the first 4-6 weeks. (With a visit to pcp)
My first post op visit is one week after surgery. I need to call because they do have 24H service and someone could call me back. My doctor’s paperwork they gave me want us to continue postop visits up to 5 years after surgery.

Wow! Call your doctor ️ I don’t feel like that but drinking is a challenge. It’s harder than I thought it would be. I used to like the Protein Drinks before surgery, but now I can’t hardly tolerate them. R U drinking enough? It may be dehydration if not

Go with the 1 oz cups, every 15 minutes, I hate lukewarm plain Water, I admit it, but I tell myself" Frustr8 this is for your health, if not for thirst, think of it as medicine" and I do it. After that go to 2oz, even my strictured swollen Precious Pouch will take 2 oz, that's 8 oz an hour, if you are awake 8 hours your 64 oz is in and done. Weak green or Decaf tea, Crystal light, mio, was there a flavor,you used to like? I liked orange, I used to like lemonade, so lemon with a drop or 2 of stevia, strawberry-kiwi does it for me. Everybody has a taste they can tolerate. Your hydration is a worthwhile project. Got to keep on keeping on, I should know, I have had thorns along with the roses in my recovery, I have had to revert back to the 2 oz plan, I also have TPN running 14 hours to help with my nutrition and fluids, but I am not giving up and you shouldn't either. Come on, let's do this together, I'm game, are you?

That's not good! Maybe it's from the tube being down your throat for surgery. My lip is still numb so that's weird lol. Or you could have a cold too. My mouth was so dry for a couple of days but is good now. I want to start eating something more but dont know when I can do that.

Jeannine - I spoke with my surgeon and he confirmed everything you said as what may be going on. I feel a lot better now that I got the chloraseptic spray and some cold medicine.

Thank you again!!

This is most helpful, THANK you! I’m going to give these lil cups a try today. I can’t stomach this Premier Protein drink but I’m freezing it and trying it that way today as well and mixing in the tasteless kind into my cream of wheat and broth. If this all works I’ll be good! Yes, we got this and we are worth it

I got burned out on the premier shakes and switched to GNC lean shakes..they have 25grams of Protein. The strawberry is pretty good.

Haven’t heard of those, I’ll add it to my list of new stuff to try. Today, I got tired of the gurgles in my stomach so I tried a lil cream of wheat and so far so good 😊 it’s stayed down with no problem 🙏

I was shocked that I enjoyed it with no sugar and butter.. my usual additions. It helped me to know that those choices are not good or necessary. I guess im learning 😊

      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.
