Good thanks :) finished my last nut appointment the other day! Talked to coordinator and now just have to wait and see:/ they said they will call me when everything is finally submitted so I will know when the clock starts. Glad to hear you are doing good! What kind of vomit issues were you having?

Hi! I was having trouble keeping anything non-liquid down. I am actually still on about an 80% liquid/mushy diet. They aren't sure why this is happening. I don't have a stricture or blockage or leak (although that was the initial concern). I just have a really picky sleeve. I can only eat about 1-2 ounces at a time, depending on the day/meal. I'll be 15 weeks on Wednesday.

How are you doing? :)

Wow! Sounds about like me lol it was awful :)

im glad you're doing well! :) i cant believe its been 6 months ready! feels like just a month or so since we all met on this thread :) hows the progress been?

after I gave in & started back on liquids it all started feeling better. I transitioned back to mushies about 2 weeks later & have tried solids but they just hurt. I can't tolerate animal Proteins at all. I'm now lactose intolerant. And Im not cleared to have raw veggies, yet. It's been a slowwwww process. But the weight loss has been decent, so I can't really complain. They keep encouraging me to re-try more solids, but I haven't had much luck. My NUT is afraid I'll get (or already am) mentally stuck, so they want me to start seeing an eating disorder specialist at an outpatient clinic. :/

WTG! That's an awesome loss so far! :)

Mine has slowed to a crawl recently. I used to lose 4-6#/wk & now I've only lost 4# in 3 wks. It's very frustrating.

      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.
