I am 4 days past surgury and today has been a great day, for the most part. I am feeling just a little tired but that is to be expected. I could really REALLY do without the explosive diareha. How long does this last? Between that and the gas I am still working out I am too scared to leave my bedroom. Please tell me this ends!!!

I think I would wish for the explosive diarrehea at this point, as I am 6 days out and constipated. I know I am not taking in enough liquids, but I just can't get the fluids down.

Yeah, I could see that being a problem, too! Have you tried the benefiber chewable tablets?

Well actually had Milk of Magnesia today, the pharmacist said it wouldn't react with my medicine. Also had about 10oz Soup, 8oz Water, and two ice pops.

Guess what, two hours later, bam the explosion. Had to go into the shower after that, but the pain was gone. LOL

I had it, too...YUCK! It is just all those liquids running right through you! Just think of the weight you are losing...lol. I still have it a little, but I think adding just those few solids to my diet helped a TON! And this, too, shall pass.....

I still can't get down Protein drinks but practically melted a Ritz cracker in my tasty, salty chicken boullion today.

I am at work, so sucking down tea and boullion. Had a hot chocolate, but still can't stomach anything heavier.

Oh, and no explosion or pluggage today.:):speechles

      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.
