Hi I'm a Minnesota too. I went to unity too & had Dr. July. I'm kinda concerned about the all liquid diet. I was told drink Water every 15 minutes & I've done this religiously. I've had chicken broth???? and sugar free hot coco & it to lactose free milk. I'm so tired of eating these things. I've looked up support about first weeks & any good clear liquid ideas. But so many aren't following what is written & told to do. I'm not a goody too shoes, but to take this weight off. I've not had the full feeling that I was told I would. I'm starving all the time. Ugh ! Am I doing this wrong? Can I eat more the the 3 times a day ? I mean during my Water every fifteen minutes or after? Like Jello or do you know of anything els I could eat along with the clear liquids. Also have either of you had the feeling of being hungry all the time.[/quote

I think you need to cut down on your water! No drinking 30 minutes before and after eating. I think your washing the nutrients right out of your system! No wonder your hungry. Protein first then veggies. As little carbs as possible! Hi, by the way! I'm Kim and I live in NE MPLS. A clear liquid that saved me; Jello and, add crystal light to you water, many good flavors. Up your Protein in your drink and it wouldn't hurt to call your nutritionist . I take it after re-reading your post you can't have solids yet. You may be ready to blend some solids, but again check first!

Hi! My name is Kim. I live in NE. I had RNY surgery in October 2009 and my surgeon was Dr. Drew at Abbott. Your in good hands. Excellent Doctor! My advice; get out of that bed and walk. It helps. 3 days you'll start to feel better. 3 weeks you'll feel like a whole new person! Best of luck!
