I am allowed yogurt as soon as I can convince myself to try it! What kind do you use? I bought plain Fage (plan to flavor it with torani) for when I get home.

I've been eating the trader joes brand. Greek plain. Went down pretty easy

Hello everyone!! My surgery is just 4 days away! Nervous bit excited! I have been on the pre-op for the past week and a half and the scale was moving great the first week but this week it shows I have gained 2 lbs...how is that possible??? I am allowed yogurt, fruit or egg in the morning, Protein Shake for lunch and then 4oz lean white meat with a green veggie for dinner and then another Protein shake (which I never do the last shake). With that I am lucky to take in 600 calories a day. Any ideas?

nicky, your body is probably in shock and just adjusting itself. I know it's easier said than done, but just keep doing what you are supposed to be doing, and your body will follow eventually. I promise!

As for me, today is the last day of full liquids. I get to eat pureed foods tomorrow, and I am beyond excited!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah! I've been dreaming about refried Beans for some reason....not something I normally eat unless it comes on my plate at a mex. restaurant! I should move to mushies on Monday the 19th and I've already told my husband he needs to take me out for Mexican that day....lol

ksgirlmomof4 on MFP Think it is a great idea to see what everyone else is eating that is close in dates to myself. Plus I think it will make me more accountable if I know others are "watching". lol

Sleeved on the 12th and I just got home this morning. Surgery went well, very little pain but a lot of nausea. Was expecting to only be there 2 nights but because I couldn't keep anything down had to stay 3. I feeling better today just not sure how I'm gonna get the fluids in. It took me an hour to drink 4 oz of Protein Drink. Problem is I don't feel like drinking but I guess I'll have to force myself.

My turn is on next Tuesday the 20th. I have to be there by 8:30 for my noon surgery. I'm also seeing my surgeon tomorrow for my preop appointment and on Friday I see my bariatric PCP last time preoperatively. Getting excited...not really nervous though. I've had a number of surgeries in my lifetime. S it's old hat to me...though I'm a little concerned about the anesthesia. I either wake up mean or all lovey dovey. And I tend to sing dirty ditties when it's preop med time. Lol. Oh well.

We are surgery twins! The anticipation is the hardest part. Just think in a few days we are going to be on the road to looking and feeling great for life????

Yes there is, you have to log into MFP from a computer (not a phone). Under the tab My Home click on Goals then Change Goals. Pick the option for custom goals and the you can set the amounts yourself. Hope that helps!

      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.
