Surgery date was October 2 nd;) I'm 23 years old from Canada. It will be 2 weeks post op in 3 days and I feel great. I have had Soup and yogurt and cream of wheat it all goes down pretty well so far. The only time I get nauseous is when I take my Vitamins, it doesn't happen all the time but it has happened. I am so happy I did this;)

Oct 1st was my day!!! I'm now on Purées and am loving the results I'm seeing. I started out at 255 beggining my pre-op diet then day of surgery was 242, and today I'm at 229.6 :) I've never been as proud of myself with how disciplined I've been through the last few weeks. If anyone wants to add me I'm on myfitnesspal also; lparker001

      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.
