Has anybody else experienced a lot of itching at incision sites right after surgery? I’m 3 days out and it is driving me crazy. I just want to dig. I know when a wound itches they say it is a sign of healing. But this soon after.
I also seem to be having a tougher time getting the Protein Drinks and Water in. My stomach feels like it is freaking out. Hard to explain the feeling. Is this normal??

I wouldn't think it was an issue. Everyone heals at a different rate, and you could be healing a bit faster.

Hi Everyone!
I'm starting my liquid diet today! My surgery will be March 19! Any tips for getting through the 2 week liquid diet?
I'm going to need all the help I can get! haha!

Be strong and steady. I was very hangry [emoji6] it gets easier!! Keep your eye on the prize. I froze Greek yogurt for a treat and used unflavored Protein in a lot of things to make sure I got my protein. If I got really hungry, I gulped a big cup of Water and went walking. Surgery for me is tomorrow. You can do it!!!

So I had a small almost-panic-attack just now thinking that I was going to be rejected right on the OR table, LOL. Has anyone else experienced this kind of thing? :wacko:

I’m mostly on a liquid diet, except one yogurt at dinner... 3 Protein Shakes and ..8oz of milk... the dietitian said 1000 calories a day... but If that’s all I’m allowed to eat... that’s less than 700 calories... any ideas??!! Please and thank you 😊

I've never even heard of it! Good luck tomorrow, safe surgery!

OMG, I just looked it up -- sounds interesting, but maybe I'll wait until after surgery, LOL

      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.
