I have been on full liquids 4 days now

Thanks Barb It has been 8 days and it has been fine. I really feel good. Today I have pre op testing. I have 5 more days til the big day, I am so excited. Betty

Don't forget to add protein powder to your drinks. It helps keep your energy level up and when I did that, I didn't feel as hungry. I still missed food but it helped.

I need to get some protein powder. I have my pre op test on the 3rd i will get some then. Thank you for the help Betty

Betty, Congrats and good luck with your big day. The full liquid diet for the 10 days is hard but after about the 4th day you really have the mind set that your going to be fine and the hungry feelings aren't taking over anymore. I ate cottage cheese and unlike most post-ops I can still eat it. Try using spices on your food, in your soups..that really helped me. Also, I used fresh lemon and limes in my drinks (water), Im not one for the protein shakes and still cant stand them...But..Good Luck and HAPPY NEW YEAR TO THE NEW YOU.....Pam (RNY, Aug. 12, 2005)

Pam, Who's that lady impersonating you in your picture? C

Its still me you just need to get your eyes checked again....Thanks though...Pam

Pam I too have Dr. Curry and start on the liquid diet tomorrow (Tues), but I think I have made myself sick. I've had headaches and nausea for the last few days, but I'm ready for tomorrow. I won't have any trouble not eating if my stomach stays this way. I go see Erin on Thursday and maybe she can help. Thanks for listening. Beth Moore

Beth I am sorry to hear you are feeling bad. I am sure Erin can help you. It has now been 8 days for me and I am feeling great. The 1st 4 days were the worse. I guess your body just has to get used to it. Take care. I know you can do. Betty
