After lurking around this place I thought it was proper to start an acount thus here I am. I am 10 days post opt and feeling okay for the most part. Emotionally drained and still a bit of pain at the top of my stomach but other than that doing well. I had my surgery in Sydney Australia..which is where I live..by a lovely French Doctor whose main practice is in QLD. Since my two week preopt diet I have lost about 16 kgs (35lbs) to date. :faint:

I will let you knwo of my progress as I go along.

Cheers

Jess

the pain is starting to go away..which I am so happy about ...but the liquid phase well not so good..I usually have two protien shakes, about 1/2 cup of Soup, juice, and then maybe a glass of Water throughout the day...I am told that Im ment to be having three protien shakes, 5 glasses of water and then that is it...grrr...so I know that may be why Im not loosing more. Im at 120kgs

which makes me down 5 kgs (12lbs) since surgery. But I would like to be down 9kgs (20lbs) when I get to my 2 week follow up..so we shall see how it goes.:phanvan

      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.
