Hey Dorcas.. happy bandiversary! Sixty-five pounds gone. Wow! You must feel so much better. Even with the bad fill experiences *cringe* I'd have kicked her!

I hope you recover quickly from your recent surgery, eat lots of protein! My doc has me on 100 grams of Protein per day for a wound I have and she said that could even be higher. So, for a quick recover, increase that Protein some. I wonder if the surgery caused some swelling that's putting pressure on your tummy, causing the sliming and PBs? I've heard women say this happens more often when they are having their periods. Don't know for sure, but don't let it go on too long without talking to your doctor.

"I wish all of you who visit this site peace whithin yourself...you need to love who u r not what u look like."

What a very, very nice thing to wish for everyone. I wish the same for you. :)

      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.
