You have made a good choice to come here for support. Congrats on being 2 years post op..... How can we help you? I'm 1 year post op and finding that I can go off track really easy. I can eat more now and that scares me. I find myself grazing a lot and am working on changing that. I am just going to eat 3 meals a day, no snacking 1 hour before meals, also fix my own meals. What really helps me here is that I have some cute dessert plates and bowls that hold very small amounts. That helps me not take too much and then I feel content. I find that I'm always thinking about food and what I'm doing is asking myself, "Am I Hungry?" and if my answer is no, I work on not eating it. I really don't need it anyways. So How can we help you? :)

Coming here is a great way to get back on track! Are you on my fitness pal? It is a great way to track your Protein etc.. many of us are on it and friends so we can see what others are eating. Great for ideas and accountability.

Good luck!

I am 10 weeks out and full of enthusiasm due to the success I am having. Would u like to email each other every day or every other day? I have read that a successful tool is to know each day what we r planning on eating for this day.."then we don't have such an opportunity to just grab something

You can go to my profile and email me on this or we could do something else.

You are having many changes in your life.......You and your nephew are grieving the loss of your sister and his mom, but how awesome is it that you took him in and giving him so much love and understanding. Be gentle with yourself and just get back to basics of all Protein for a few days. cut the sugars and carbs out and start with there. You will do fine and your sister is very proud of you and her son. She's so thankful he has a wonderful home.........You are an Angel! :)

      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.
