    Liquid diet

    I'm 8 days out and can't stand the smell of broth anymore!! I've tried several diff kinds and just gag when it's in front of me. Guess I'll have to just keep on with the shakes and try hot water with lemon a couple times a day. So hoping my dr advances me to soft foods when I go in for my post op on the 9th. I don't know that I could handle another week of liquids only. I still feel like I'm hungry lots during the day, don't know if this is actual hunger or mental? So far I'm down 11 lbs from SW but I am walking 1.5-2 miles a day. I am so thankful I found this app!!
  2. Wishing you all the best! Let us know how it goes with the insurance. Same here Jennah. I just became an RN 2 years ago and already see my career being cut short due to my health. I hate that I don't have the energy or drive to get outside and practice baseball with my son or ride bikes as a family. Doesn't help that I was 100 lbs lighter when I met my husband. He hasn't complained once about my wt gain but I want to be that happy, confident person he fell in love with and it just isn't happening when I can't stand to look at myself in a mirror. The person I think I am is not the same person I see in my reflection or in pics.
  3. Unfortunately my insurance wouldn't cover it so I just paid out of pocket- for everything! Hoping it was worth it.
  4. Guess I should try on a pair of jeans or real pants and see how they fit. Question- have you had any issues with constipation or did your dr start you on meds? Can't tell if this new discomfort is something to be worried about or if I just need to ????
  5. I've been doing the Atkins protein shakes and it does help but it doesn't fill me up for very long. I'm at least drinking more water the last couple of days. I've lost some weight but since I live in scrubs and sweats I'm not sure that I can see that I've lost.
  6. We have the same surgery date!! I feel your pain, I'm about to go crazy with the liquids???? also, does your stomach make all these crazy sounds every time you drink anything? Sounds like a dog fight in there
