Thanks Mike! And congrats on the weight loss! You are doing awesome! How are you feeling so far? I haven't started any solids yet...the Protein shakes really fill me up. I still haven't met 64 oz Water in a day either...although today I'm only 8oz away!

Hey lauren,

I am actually doing really good. I am surprised at how much I can drink. I have no issues getting my Water or Protein in everyday. I am not following the post-op diet either which is kinda bad I guess but I feel great with what I am eating and have no issues keeping it down,. As soon as I got home I started with blended Soups with homemade broths to thin them out. I have already tried scrambled eggs, deli meats, cheese and my sleeve handles it no problems. I am going to wait another week and start to incorporate fish and deli meats into my daily diet. I am drinking 1 costco Protein shake a day but once I can eat some 2-4ounce fish fillets, deli meats and cheeses daily I don't think I will need to drink Protein Shakes anymore.

The weight is coming off but keep in mind I hardly followed the pre-op diet, in fact did not lose a pound prior to surgery, maybe even gained. You would be shocked to know what I ate the night before surgery lol. I think this is why I got a little jump start post-op.

I'm excited for the Super Bowl... You guys have a party?

Had to copy and paste the pages I wanted to save. Tedious but worth it :)

Mike,

Thanks for posting this... it is a great help!

Fletcherette,

How did you save it as a Word doc? The best I could do was print it - one page at a time!!

      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.
