I'm feeling good and very very sore! I just got home about 2 hours ago and I went straight to bed. The pain pump at the hospital made such a huge difference too bad I can't bring that home lol

I am officially in phase 2 soft foods so tonight I will be eating a Gerber baby food chicken flavor.

You're a brave soul. I couldn't bring myself to deal with baby food. my food went into the blender.

I'm still waiting for submission/approval... Oh My GOODNESS... this is taking soo long !!! :huh:

The waiting game is always the worst. I was the same way. I didn't have my approval until about a week after the 3rd class. Once I received approval, I was excited and then nervous all over again. Luckily when you get your approval, you will be scheduling your surgery at the same time.

Thanks Nicole... It's been a week already... So I'm crossing my fingers for that they will call any day now... I am really trying to be patient. But geesh...

Before

After

My Breakfast, 1 slice of bacon and a homemade veggie egg foo young patty (bean sprouts, bell pepper, green onions, and mushrooms)

I'm not an egg girl in the sense that I don't like omelets, boiled eggs, scrambled eggs. So this is the best way for me to eat an egg.

As you can see, I ate maybe half. Georgette ( my sleeve) is really doing her job.

1 can bean sprouts (I prefer fresh, but I keep a can on stand by)

1 cup egg substitute

3 oz chopped crimini mushrooms

1/4 cup green onions

1/4 cup chopped bell peppers

1/2 tsp chopped garlic

2 T soy sauce

Sautee mushrooms, bell peppers, green onions, and garlic. In a bowl add egg, bean sprouts, soy sauce, and sautéed veggies.

Heat a skillet with a little olive oil, spoon the mixture in to pan to size you want the patty. Brown on both sides.

Because I eat small portions now, I was able to make 10 patties

      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.
