I had surgery on 7/2 along with a few others. One of the others shared at our check up that she is able to drink 4-6 oz at a sitting and is still hungry. She was told not to do it and that she’s not hungry, it’s in her head and that it happens that way for some patients. Also they were concerned that even though she felt good, she could rupture something inside. I use a timer set to go off every 5 minutes to drink my Water and to make the 2oz meal last. You should talk to your team to make sure you’re not hurting anything.

At a week post-surgery I was told no more than 2 ounces of liquid every 15 minutes. As for activity, I walked a half mile the day after I got out of the hospital and I walked four miles the day after that. It truly depends on how you feel and what your activity level was like pre-surgery. Don't do anything that engages abdominal muscles like crunches or stair running, but I was walking small inclines within days after surgery.

      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.
