Wow. Today makes one month since I started my 10 day preop diet. I was 401. Lost 16 pounds in that 10 days but I never want to have Soup again. Had surgery on the 10th and have lost 25 pounds in that 3 weeks. I just ate my usual Breakfast, 4 oz of scrambled egg beaters and I'm totally full. I love getting full so easy. This time last month it would have taken a pan of buttered down biscuits and about 6 pieces of bacon to do the job. Or more likely, 3 chicken biscuits from Chikfila and a large coke.

I started soft foods a week ago and since then I feel great. The doc upped my calories but I continue to loose weight because my energy level has gone through the roof. I'm headed out now for a 2 mile hike in the woods with the dogs.

Well I just wanted to say how glad I am that I had this surgery.

CONGRATS! I am a little confused but that's ok. Have you had your surgery or are you on your pre-opt diet? You have done really well on losing weight. Twenty five lbs in 3 weeks is nothing to sneeze at! :D

      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.
