  1. I'm 3 weeks into my 4 weeks of Clear liquids, one week left to mushies. Can't wait to have something to chew. Protien shakes have helped tremendously. 3 a day and no hunger. I rarely even have the broth. Find I need to chew, so the sugar free pop cycles work great for that
  2. I was banded on the 15th. I. Feel pretty good tried to sleep in bed but I'm a side sleeper the gravity pulled on my port to bad, it's back to the recliner for a while. As for the protien shakes, I'm getting 90+ a day easy. costco Premier chocolate freeze to thick cut open the pouch scoop it out, it's like a fudge cycle. Matrix nectar in peach I can put that in water and drink like flavored water. It's ally good. I add my Calcium powder but it doesn't dissolve I need to straight shot that with some sf kook aide. I'm also doing Benifiber twice a day in my protien. I'm not allowed any mushies for 4 weeks Good luck hope you get something out of my post.

    2 days out

    I was Friday too. I'm putting Benifiber in my protien shakes to help. But again don't feel the need to go. Head aches, yes in the morning, just annoying goes away eventually. I thought it could be dehydration but I have been getting 3 quarts plus protien in 24 hours

    Unflavored Protein

    The uNjury is truly non flavored. However you do need to watch the high temp, it can separate over 140 degrees. I think the trick is mix first then heat to desired temp. I bought 2 containers it can go in anything... Crystallite etc

    Hiatal Hernia Diaphragm Pressure

    I was banded yesterday and hiatal repair. The heating pad does wonders. Pain med I was also told to take liquid Motrin at the same time. Deep breaths even though it hurts. Best wishes for a speedy recovery!
  7. I'm required to start today, my first. 3 Protein shakes a day and clear liquid. Sounds like it takes a while to get them down, not like before surgery. Cooling mine down now, will try to get it going soon. Not hungry, but told we really need the protein and Vitamin C to heal quickly

    Day after surgery!!

    I too had mine yesterday. Hiatal repaired too. Have shoulder and neck pain wondering if that's the gas or the hernia repair causing the discomfort. Did you sleep in recliner? Could only sleep an hour at a time. Congrats on your loss before surgery, that's AWESOME!!!! Best of luck for a speedy recovery.
  9. Funny I'm doing the same thing. My daughter is at college wasn't going to tell her but she's coming home this weekend and my surgery is in the morning. So I had to tell her. Not telling any family but my husband, he's taking me. Only my best friend knows. I plan on just telling people I'm watching what I eat....not sure if that will work. My mom thinks I'm just n a liquid diet for a while..... Good luck, let me know what you come up with.....
  10. I did the same thing. Vanilla is boring but the sugar free syrups are awesome. My favorite is the salted carmel. It works with vanilla, choc, and cookies and cream!

    The voyage of a lifetime..

    Best of luck to you!!!
  14. Everyone around me has been sick. I've been doing Zicam and airborne for the last 2 weeks. I'm afraid I'm delaying the inevitable. Each day another symptom surfaces. I've added Vitamin C too along with Vitamins. Calling doc tomorrow to see what they say. Yes I know I don't want to have to start the Clear liquids over considering he makes us do 4 weeks after!!!!
