Another 21kg loser here! I saw my surgeon yesterday' date=' 10 weeks post op. 21kg includes my 2 weeks pre surgery.

Last time I lost that much, it took me a year.

This is awesome.

Everyday is still a learning process as to what I can and can't eat. I still need to train myself to eat slowly and chew thoroughly.[/quote']

We done Nessa. I am finding eating more slowly and chewing the most challenging aspect.

Yes, eating slowly and chewing is really a challenge. I hope it will eventually become second nature but I feel it is going to take a looooong time!

This is so weird, I have been trying to call my surgeons office for 3 days and no answer! I'm trying to make final payment for my surgery and book it in formally for the 11th September but have now missed the cut off! The receptionist I spoke to last week said she was away this week- however they still had the other receptionist on so call back on te Monday an we will book u in. Guess maybe not!!

      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.
