First, congrats on your 90 lb loss. That's awesome. I wonder if why you feel so bad s because you didn't follow the food stages. My dr says even if I follow the stages he sets out, sometimes folks have to step back to the previous stage a little longer. Have you talked to your dr?

I'm just moving into puréed but there's some really great ideas here. Going to sve it

It's pretty common for insurance company's to require a 3 or 6 month medically supervised diet. I ate that for you. Mine required the 6 month wait, but then my husband's employer changed insurance company so I didn't have to wait. I was sleeved 4 weeks after my first appt. I wish that insurance comany's were required to cover this immediately. The AMA just recently recognized obesity as a disease, so I think we will see a coverage change in the next couple of years, but I know that doesn't help right now.

I'm so glad your doing so well !

Sorry, 60-80 g daily.

I was to,d protein at first. 69-80 g per day in liquid -food doesn't count toward that.

I was sleeved 8/8. Each day has been better. Just takes a while to get in all the fluids and protein. And head hunger? I could eat the dog . Lots of soup. I had to be on clear liquids for 2-3 days, then full liquid with at Keats 60 g drinkable protein. Starting tomorrow I can gave puréed foods. Looking forward to a scrambled egg.

I have fibro and RA too so not sure whether to worry. I was sleeved on 8/8. Released yesterday.

No lovenox shots. It kind of feels like I am sore. I am exhausted

Lewis, how much protein is in the Ensure pomogranite?

I've eaten watered down cream of mushroom soup off and on today and it really has helped.

I was sleeved 8/8 and I am hungry too. Can't seem to get the protein shakes down but I feel so hungry.

Elisa, how many days before you drank water like before surgery?

I am starving for mushroom soup. Think that would be ok? Can I count it toward fluids?

Thanks Notime. Am beginning to wonder what the heck I've done to myself. Having trouble finding a hot liquid I can drink. Popsicles are wonderful though.

Just got home brim the hospital today. Trying to get all fluids in. I'm sore but my stomach kind of burns. Anybody feel this way after surgery?

I'm scheduled for this a.m. too. Was very nervous/anxious last night. Really was considering canceling but after talking to some folks here, I'm ok. I'm praying for you guys today. I am looking forward to the pre surg cocktail though

We are our own worst critics.

Call. May be something common, but don't take a chance. Can you have broth? Ifso, something hot may help.

Mine is tomorrow. Trying to remain calm

Praying for you, BayouBoy. I'm at 10 tomorrow.

Just got back from pre op visit. Surgery is tomorrow at 10. Getting really nervous. Today included a Bariatric boot camp and most of what was ducussed was the pain after surgery. Really scary. Also was told that they would place a tube in my stomach the size of a GARDEN HOSE to use as a guide when cutting away the extra stomach. Kind of freaked out. Talk to me, guys.

Aumum, how bad was yesterday?

Not kidding about the garden hose. That's what the pre op nurse actually said. Have you guys already been sleeved? How was it for you?

What's wrong?
