I was thinking the same thing!!! Like what's wrong with Popsicles?!?!

 

Anywho THANK YOU Cindy for this post!!!!

 

I wonder if it was the flavor she was referring to? Coconut can be heard to digest and pineapple is very acidic which may cause indigestion and reflux.

 

My postop diet cautioned against pineapple juice for awhile and coconut too.

I couldn't have done it with out the people I meet on this forum. It made a world of a difference. I can't wait to see how we all change. I started preop at 280 and I was 267 night before surgery at Marriott (yes they have scales in bathroom) today I weighed 260. I hope it keeps coming off like this. Woohooo

Hey girls....

 

Still haven't weighed yet. Partner won't give me back the scale until I'm 2 weeks postop since I'm an obsessive weigher. I gained 4kg/9lbs while in the hospital (same scale), and the friggin scale at the marriott had me up 17 pounds? ! ?

 

Was in clears for a week, struggling with Water not because of the sleeve, but just because I'm such a poor water drinker. Doing same as cindysc with protein...about 50gm/day.

 

Moms with kids...get a babysitter! The one I had arrange to come the day I got home didn't show, so I struggled post op day 5 with the four human critters. Had a MAJOR meltdown! But day 6 on has been fine on my own.

 

Can't weight to weigh in Friday!

 

Prettyinpink...did you get Eva's contact info?

Thank you SO much for such a detailed explanation! I'm in the process of scheduling with Dr. Garcia for May 30, and getting really excited about it. Your post is very reassuring!

      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.
