I have a rash all over my chest and shoulder area. Can it be the meds ? I called my Dr. and believe it or not..their only suggestion was to go get some benadryl cream. Ugh, me tiene mal...I am being forced to deal with it...benadryl isn't helping.

So after four weeks what were you able to eat...( food examples ) ? I am going to be 2 weeks post op tomorrow. I can't wait to enjoy food ..im starting to only drink liquids again. Idk but that might happen ti me too. When I see someone eating...for some reason im like " Thank god it isn't me eating that" lol

Lol I feel the same way. Around four weeks I was eating tuna, chicken, cheese. I kept it light and still do. I usually go to McDonalds and get me a grilled chicken wrap and just eat the chicken inside. I can't even enjoy good, it's like when I got to solids the restriction it's so much more.

Do u own a slow cooker? U can take a couple of boneless chicken thigs and take all the fat off them, season them and throw them in the slow cooker till they look like tuna. U might even want to throw in it some carrots, broccoli and coliflower. It wont look beautiful but it will be delish and healthy.make sure u put in half cup of Water in it.

      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.
