It has been exactly 2 weeks since my surgery and I am no longer sore or achy from the operation. I am still eatting soft/ mushy foods and am ok with that so far still......I did try scrambled eggs on day 10 and it didnt go down well.....I did not throw up but salivated alot for 5 minutes until it passed and then I was fine.

I am down 22 pounds since I began my 3 day pre-op diet. Starting weight was 230 and now I am 208. Sometimes I am happy I did it, other times, not so much......it's still early and I am still getting used to everything.......

I actually had alot of trouble with the Protein Shakes because they taste sooo horrible....I skipped drinking them for a few days and felt sooo run down,,,,,My brother-n-law introduced me to a tasty actually very tasty Protein Shake and I am back and drinking them....I still feel a bit run down but I think thats from life and this big change in general......as for the mushies I have been eatting mashed potatoes mixed in with meat baby food....applesauce, pudding, oatmeal.......

      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.
