3/12 here. Doing great. Just started eating black bean Soup and yogurt and Protein Drinks yesterday after 3 days Clear Liquids. I have no pain most of the time. I’m able to do laundry. I get tired easy. I take a few naps now and then. How are you?

Good for you! I’m tired & sore but ok. My doctor only allows calorie free Clear Liquids and 2 ounces of Protein Shake three times a day For the first two weeks! It’s getting a little old but I’m down 10 pounds which I think is mostly Water weight at this point.

I also am 3/12! Been doing great so far besides today I’ve been struggling a bit! For Protein my doctor only allows premier protein...and I hate it! I’m supposed to have 3 a day and I’ve felt nauseous after each one! But part of me thinks that it’s because I hate them so much that I try to drink them fast to get it over with

I’m on Premier Protein too. Not a big fan either. I don’t think it’s any worse than any of the others it’s just I’m not a fan of the chalkiness and I really do miss chewing LOL

3/12 sleeve, today has been best day, got down 3 -20 oz Gatorade zeros, 3 -11 oz premier Proteins, 2-17 oz waters, 6 sugar free popsicles and a cup of chicken broth. Slept on my side for the first time, and walked outdoors for a total of 30 mins 3 different times! Oh and I had my first BM!! So excited about that one- hadn’t taken any pain medication since coming home from the hospital, trying to get the train a moving!

I’m also 3/12. I’ve been doing okay, real sore though. Not the incisions but the skin around them is what is most sore, I don’t get it. I am having a really hard time drinking more than one Protein Drink plus all the Water I was barely able to get 24oz of water on top of one Protein Shake. Any suggestions for trying to get more in?

I'm having the same issue....incisions dont hurt but the tissue surrounding the largest one is stabbing pain when I go to sit or stand or bend over...

I am having similar symptoms and I think it’s normal. The incision themselves we’re glued closed And they feel OK but the surrounding skin is all bruised and a bit tender. I was told this is normal. It hurts the most when I bend over or try to tie shoes etc. I’m doing OK with the Water but I think only because I’m only allowed to have 6 ounces total of Protein a day. The key is just sipping little sips of it constantly. I also got some true lemon and mio Which are water enhancers I just add a little flavor to regular water. They seem to help too

      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.
