Hey August Bandsters!

I am 2 weeks post op today and I feel great! My incisions are healing well and I have a little more energy.

I'm on my high Protein puree phase of my diet (weeks 3 & 4). I am able to add soft fish, bean Soups, shredded chicken, low fat soft cheeses and soft cooked eggs! I practically jumped out of bed to fix myself Breakfast.

I went back to work Tuesday and Wednesday and I have to say I was beat! and so thirsty (I got used to drinking able day long). This 4-day weekend is much appreciated.

I hope all are doing well!

p.s. I a, going to update my ticker tomorrow, I've decided to only weigh myself on Fridays.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
