So, I just got back from the dr.'s office and he said that I can go on a full liquid diet now and on Monday on mushies...

I am so exited! Oh, and when they weighed me -- I had already lost 14 pounds (10 pounds post op and 4 pounds since surgery on Tuesday). I am so exited!

I am sitting here eating some homemade chicken Soup (blended with veggies and chicken). I am feeling great. Most of the gas is gone. Just wanted to let you all know how it was going. :)

ok.. so yesterday had an awful bout with nausea after I ate the chewable multi vitamin... AND for the first time felt hungry. Am I suppose to feel hungry? I just ate this morning and I feel hungry? Is that normal? It is like an empty feeling in the pit of my stomach???

I had my surgery the same day, and also went home the next day! I did experience some pain and discomfort (more than I thought I would, the first 2 days were intolerable!), but now at 5 days post op I'm feeling much better, down 9 lbs since surgery, and 24 lbs. since my pre-op diet!

      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.
