Week Three done...Hello, Week Four!



Recommended Posts

OK Guys!

Week Three is behind me and I am on Week Two of Thick Liquids! Mushies are just around the corner! Down another 2 pounds...trying very hard not to be disappointed with the slow weight loss. :huh: Trying to remember how much better I feel and what I would have given for a 2 lb loss a few short weeks ago! :D I am honestly doing everything by the book...only missing piece is consistant exercise. Sooooo, I am off to the GYM!

Looking forward to our Local Sleeve Group tonight!

Have a Great Day!

Hey Barb!

Mine has slowed down too. I'm still having a very hard time getting my Protein shakes down. They cause spasms in my esophagus. Dr. Spaw is having me take hyosciamine (sp?) for those, but I still have trouble. He just told me to keep trying, that it would get better.

Purees are my friend. They are warm and feel good going down. I start mushies the day I go back to work, but I'm a little bit scared about that. I think I'm going to stick with purees at work during the day and then try new mushie stuff at home in case it doesn't want to stay down.

We are going to Knoxville this weekend to visit my oldest daughter. It will be the first time away from home since surgery. I plan on taking my Magic Bullet and if the restaurants we go to don't have anything I can eat, I can get something to go and puree it when we get back to the hotel. I'm really nervous about this trip.

See you tonight!

Everything slows down week 3-5 and then you will start losing a little more quickly. You're doing great!!!

      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.
