I am on the full liquid diet that I was oh so happy to begin with 3 days left of full liquids before I can move to the purees. I am so hungry all the time now after never being feeling no hunger at all.

At day 3 post op I was allowed to add sugar free yogurt and strained 98% fat free Soups. Prior to surgery I had a serious lactose intolerance and it has apparently gotten much worse after being sleeved. I tried both and there is no way I can deal with the constant bubbling in my stomach after a 4oz serving.

So, basically I am still on the Clear Liquids and I am as hungry as a bear. Did anyone else have this issue? How did you make it through the full liquids without dairy? I do use soy and lactaid milk in my Protein shakes. Is that my only option for the next 3 days?

Oh man, I just read thru that link...you have WAY more patience than I do! God bless you for doing all that instead of just picking up some yogurt from the store!

It's really not that time consuming once you know how. I do it all the time. they also have yogurt makers that you can "set and forget" They're not that expensive and you can buy on Amazon.com

I was told no dairy at all until week 3. Have been drinking 50% Gatoraide/ 50% Isopure and alternating with a bit of chicken broth and some sugar free yogurt. Can't say that I'm hungry. I did start taking chewable vitamins because I felt that I needed them and so far' date=' so good.[/quote']

Hi Jeff,

Congrats on your progress! What are your thoughts on the aftercare at Advanced Laparoscopic? My surgery has been postponed due to severe anemia. I'm hoping to reschedule in July. My surgeon is Amit Trivedi from Adv. Lap. Do you attend the support group at HUMC? Thank you for any info.

I hope you are doing well!

Wondering what chicken broth you use. Is it tasty?

Better than bouillon is the best broth! I got mine at Costco, they have the chicken and beef, but am sure you can order it online.
