It looks like my leak is healed!! I had surgery on 12/24, but since I haven't eaten in 3 months, I assume I will start back up like I am a new post-op surgery. I will have to wait to hear from my surgeon and dietitian for more details. I am just still in shock right now. In all honesty, I have no desire to eat at all...that is pretty scary and kinda worries me. I will just take it slow and hope for the best!!

Many thanks to all the people who having been praying for me. I really appreciate your concern. =)

Stacie, seriously I couldn't be more happy for you to have this behind you. I know what it is like to not want to eat, but it does get better. Things tasted so "off" for so long for me that I thought I was doomed to food not ever tasting good again. It was short lived, and things are so much better now.

Slow and easy, and you'll do great. Take care of yourself, and please keep us posted. I'm so elated that the leak has healed, and you are fully on your way to great post-op life.

Stacie I too am so glad to know your going to be able to get back on track and progress in your WL journey. I don't need to tell you (but I will) to remember to take it slow and have patience with your nutrient intake. It may be a bit tedious during the liquid phase but before you know it you will be enjoying many foods only in small amounts.

But seriously girl, I am so happy 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.
