Hey gals,

I have not been posting much lately but thought I would reach out. I did really well the first 10 months post op, then REALLY slowed down. Then....got dehydrated, passed out had low potassium and ended up in hospital. After 4 bags of Fluid, liquid potassium and bananas, I gained 6 lbs. I read one time since we do not have a Pouch this is not for us however, I wanted to "shrink" my tummy again because I can eat sooooo much more today and still have, now 26 lbs to go. I thoughtnabout Diva's boot camp and if this does not work, I will o down that path.

So Sunny and team yesterday was all liquid for me. I am with you all... it was tough. I had 4 shakes, 2 cups of split pea Soup, 100 oz of Water, 2 cups of coffee.

Stay strong for today best to all!

No weight loss yet, worked out for 40 minutes.

Hey Sunny,

There is a recipe for split pea Soup that includes bacon and ham (online at http://5daypouchtest.com/recipes/recipes.html) but for me, I used Andersen's canned low fat last night, tonight probably the same. I had Campbell's broccoli Soup at hand for lunch. And I use the costco premiere Protein shakes, had 3 today plus tons of Water (I had to finally add some crystal light to get my last bottle down).

I am hungry and excited to have eggs tomorrow :)

Best to you!

      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.
