Hahahaha I love it!!!! Stay in touch! How's it been for you so far?

Besides this crazy side cramp/sharp pain that I've had for a week now & put me in the ER Sun am...all is good! We had our work weightloss challenge final weighout today & it was 17lbs so I know I'm down that at least from my highest which was pretty much the same as my preop diet weight. Had no pain or nausea. But now I dont seem to like much. Cottage cheese is about it & milk & fudgecicles. Not getting Water in today at all...boo...but pants are baggie!

I definitely feel that. I never thought I could be so un-excited about losing massive amounts of weight in a week, but in the greater context of feeling so "blah", it just isn't as awesome :( hope you feel better soon!

Maybe some sublingual B-12 complex would give u a boost! You are doing great. Get your rest but make urself get up & walk some. One day at a time, trust me, I know.

Question? When you are eating grilled fish do you count raw as your measurement for ounces or when it's cooked? Want to make sure I'm accurate...

I think I;m having the 3 week stall too. Oh well. I guess the scale will move eventually; I did have a couple of incisions open up a little when the stitches came out. I've been nursing them for 2 weeks and they are finally healing pretty well.

I'm down 21 lbs and waiting for more to fall off!

Glad to hear all of you are doing well too. Is anyone still extremely tired?? I am!

Hi group! I just joined the community and this is my first post :-) I am 1 week and day post-op, and down 11 lbs. I was just given the "OK" to move on to creamed Soups. I have celiac disease, so finding a good gluten free Soup has been rather difficult...plus nothing tastes good or looks good to me. I also have trouble with gluten free Protein shakes...either I can't find them, or they taste terrible.

I am feeling better each day, but I do struggle with stomach spasms, and I have diarreah all the time...normal?

Any suggestions on GF soups and Protein Shakes would be MUCHO appreciated :-)

Today is two weeks and one day for me post op! I'm down 29.6 pounds! I am tired most days and I was supposed to go back to work originally today, but I had severe left side pain about four days ago got scared and the doctor signed off on me staying home another week! Started mushy good yesterday! Yummy! Loving the refried Beans, cottage cheese and Greek yogurt and best of all my Protein count has increased tremendously! I can usually eat a 1/2 cup of food it takes me the 30 minutes to get it in!! Feeling less pain in left side today so hopefully I'm done with that! I started at 250 and am 220.4 today! 5' 5" tall

      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.
