Well 1 month out, I'm down 47 lbs from 273 to 226!!!! It is just surreal. My blood sugar has returned to 81-91 each morning, I am 6 lbs from my lowest adult weight!!!! I'm feeling good and shrinking daily. What a great month it's been.

My post op diet has been less than it should be. I have had bad reflux which has made it hard to eat and drink. I am taking prilosec and that has helped ALOT in the last 2 weeks. Basically for 5 days I was clears only, then 6 days full liquid, mostly protien shakes (muscle milk lite, 8oz 15 gr protein) then 11days out I started soft stuff. But misty stayed liquids. At 21 days I started fish and pureed tuna salad. And slowly adding whatever in.

My day looks like this

Breakfast 4 oz Greek yogurt 10gr Protein and then I sip a Protein Shake on my way to work 15gr

lunch 4 shrimp for almost 20 gram protein

dinner hard to eat much but I have been doing 3 oz bake salmon or chicken. 12-15 gr protein.

I have a low calorie Gatorade with me all day and am finally getting about 60 oz liquid in.

So that's been it. I have tried, taco meat, cheeses, fish, hamburger patty, etc. Mostly I eat meat, I have a hard time getting food in so I have focused on protein mostly. I am doing a chewable multi Vitamin, prilosec and that's been it.

      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.
