I agree with Msgal! Weighing yourself every day will drive you crazy! I was weighing myself every day after surgery and had many ups and downs. Now, I follow each monthly challenge and only weigh myself once a week.

Hi all,

Just checking in to see how everyone is doing? It's been 12days since my band and in feeling good the pain is going down slowly, the burping is also less which is good. I am feeling cold all the time though my fingertips r freezing, has anyone felt thAt? I'm still not feeling hungry at all but I am over the whole liquid diet now and looking forward to mushies soon???Š. I'm loving this app it's so informative and everyone is so welcoming and honest but I have to say reading about all the bad stuff that could happen is freaking me out I really should stop reading so much! Have a great day/ night xx

      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.
