One week to the hour, post op and I'm feeling great. I've been feeling good since day 3. As soon as you can after surgery, walk, walk, walk to get rid of painful gas. It seems surreal, but I'm so happy for myself. I'm so happy with my decision. My underwear are already getting too big. I'm so excited about my future!!

Congrats!!! I'm at my one month mark today & feeling great too! I hope your recovery continues to go easy! I was thrilled to bring 2 bags of clothes that were too big to my hospital's support group last night because they have a clothing exchange. It was so great to get rid of things that were falling off already!! Make sure you do your measurements too! I had a few times where I stayed the same weight for a 4-5 days in a row, but when we did my weekly measurements I lost inches! Good luck moving forward!!

Congrats! I'm one week Post-Op today also... I've lost 12 pounds so far and can't wait to lose more.

How are you doing with your food?

What are you eating?

I was suppose to start my soft/purée foods today but haven't had the heart to change yet.

Good luck and keep up the good work!

Thanks!

Try not to weigh yourself everyday, like me, or you will drive yourself crazy.

Good Luck and let's check in next week.

      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.
