I cant feel or see the port at all. And I like it that way:thumbup:. Tomorrow is my last day on the liquid diet and I look forward to eating "mush". A few more weeks and I can cook(and eat) my Thanksgiving turkey still in the freezer'

My energy is pretty good. I have been on the treadmill everyday for and hour since I got out of the hospital. I'm doing the Couch To 5K. Are you getting in your Protein?

Soexcited I was feeling very tired all the time also, and my friend who had gastric told me she felt the same after her surgery and found out she wasn't getting enough Protein, so I took her advice and started sipping protien shakes mixed with Water throughout the day and felt really good like the next day. My doctor said it is really important to try and get my 60 grms of protein a day.

My energy level has been better than ever. I've been eating very healthy and making sure to get sufficient calories, Protein, Vitamins, and Water. Haven't had my first fill yet, but trying to start good habits now.

@ soexcited. You will feel much better once you begin mushy food. I felt icky on liquids too. Just make sure you take your Vitamins and if you have a problem with anemia, take extra Iron.< /p>

mello...remind me of your surgery date again? I know you went before me just dont remember when. I finally had a good nights sleep last night...I havent been sleeping the best so maybe that will start to help with the energy. I am thinking I will ask my doc on Monday if I can start Mushies a day sooner and see what he says. I'd KILL for a scrambled egg right now. And whats odd is that I have been on liquids for almost 2 weeks now and have lost no more weight?????????????????

Sugery date was 11/17. I also had problems with sleep because I couldn't get comfortable. I was able to sleep on my stomach last night for the first time and I slept like a baby. I had to use sleeping pills a few times while recovering.

      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.
