Yep, I do believe that I'm officially in the dreaded 3 WEEK STALL!!! I've been the same weight since Friday. Thank God for this wonderful site, because if I didn't know about the 3 week stall, I would be totally freaking out. I'm cool, it's all part of the process...but. .. WHEN IS IT GOING TO END?????? :-D

Does anyone try lunch meat? I have been having really thin sliced turkey and American cheese....only two ounces total. I was hoping that the Protein would help.

I have to vent... Yesterday was my son's birthday and we celebrated at chuck e cheese... I had to sit and watch as everyone enjoyed pizza, wings, salad bar, cake, and ice cream... While I sipped on Water. It was worse than when my family took me out to eat at a Mexican restaurant (my favorite food) while out of town and tried to coax me into eating something while I was on my preop liquid diet. Everything smelled so good, and I was dying to have some cake (which is something I love) everyone kept commenting on my willpower, but that had nothing to do with it... The fact that any of that food could have caused complications and sent me to the hospital is what scared me into not eating it. Most times, I feel like nobody around me understands...

Today I had a lunchable that was turkey and chedder cheese. It only had about 1 oz. each of meat and cheese. did not eat the crackers or the small candy. It went down okay. It was nice to have something to chew! Technically, I'm not supposed to be on soft Proteins until tomorrow, but I had a couple eggs yesterday, so I thought I would try the lunchmeat/cheese thing today. Going to pick up some cottage cheese later this afternoon for tomorrow.

How are all the July 8-ers doing with their incisions? My doctor glued mine and all but one the glue has come off. A couple of the larger ones still have glue IN them, like in the middle of the incision - will that eventually dissolve or what?

My incisions are glued but one stitched......the stitched one hurts so bad I wanna punch the wall! I also just got a cold so sneezing and coughing is really sad......in fact I am in a really bad place because of it. Just so miserable.

My glue is all gone except what was left on my actual skin and is peeling still but the wounds are all closed well. Funny that one of the tiniest ones gave me the most pain.

      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.
