Hello from North Dakota! I am 2 weeks post op and feeling great. I didnt know what to expect as i kind of kept it a secret that I was doing it except with my family and close friends. I deal with Fibromyagia and have tried so many diets that have just failed so it was nice to see in the 2 weeks that I am down 14lbs already. Im excited to talk to others and reading forums in here have helped me already. Like learning about the gas pains after and yes Gas X is a life saver!!! I look forward to talking to others in the journey and couraging those that need it... Have a wonderful and blessed day!

WELCOME

happy to have you join the group. I have learned so much by reading posts from this forum. I try to stay away from the negative nelly's. I listen to my doc and nutrition experts. I don't do "it" perfectly everyday but, the changes have been so phenomenal, I feel different, I look different. I think for the 1st time I will make it this time.

I have worked really hard on some demons that always pulled me back into the world of hatred - self hatred. I am worth all this work, I am worthwhile. I have things to contribute to the world. Believe it yourself, you will have success too!

Ask lots of questions, it will make such a difference!

Thanks everyone for the posts! N I have no clue but fatnfluffy popped in my head... Gabriel Inglasis(spelled wrong lol) is one of my fav comedians and his famous saying is Im not fat im fluffy. I have always had a positve attitude of my weight. But when my fibro got bad i knew it was time to change. My dr said that those who join these groups and go back for routine checks are the ones that succeed the most and i have learned lots by reading and then just finally joined so i look forward to chatting and reading and learning lots!

      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.
