They told us we could have it from Wendy's...I pureed it and was only able to eat 2ounces before I was full but it was a nice change of pace! Today was the 1st day I could have that.

DmHellow' date=' where are you from? How are you feeling since your surgery?[/quote']

I am from Macomb, not feeling to bad still sore. I had a band that slipped so they removed it and did a sleeve. So surgery went a little longer because they had to take down adhesions. But really not feeling to bad. Who did your surgery? Dr. Hawasli did mine at St. John's.

Jenna, yum I love Wendy's chili but I have to ask if I can have that cause it has meat in it. My Nutritionist says to stay away from meat for at least 4 months after surgery.

Vsgmommy, glad to hear someone else can get down 8oz as well. I was worried I'm able to take in too much. Yes I have noticed my clothes starting to feel bigger. I wore one of my favorite blouses yesterday n it was long cause my tummy has gone down. Has anyone gone back to work yet?

It's crazy to me that every dr has different rules but Iguess they know what's best for us lol. I weighed myself today, I'm down 32lbs. I've been doing it every few days but think I'm going to start weighing only once a week. I'm so excited for all of us!

      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.
