No dumping. I’m eating a Girl Scout cookie right now! (Don’t tell anyone lol). I was in the hospital one night. Did the swallow test in the morning to check for leaks and all was well. Then later in the day they had me drink Water and I vomited a little bit but they sent me home with medication to stop the vomiting. I’ve been fine. Swallow pills no problem.

I didn’t do the liquid vitamins. I bought the Multivitamin with Iron on bariatric pal. The only one that doesn’t make me vomit. I bought calcium chews From target-viactiv

Before surgery I drank the Premier Protein shakes but after surgery my stomach can’t tolerate them. Also need crystal lite to add to Water. I don’t like the taste of regular water anymore for some reason.

Yeah. Don’t go over board buying. Buy some Jello. You’ll want that. And sugar free ice pops.

      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.
