Surgery June 26

I did gain 10 lbs from IV fluids given in hospital. I was surprised about it. That took a few days to reverse then I lost 12 lbs from my starting weight.

Able to get Protein and Water down easily

Still a little tired from surgery

Looking forward to new life !

Sleeved 7/1 - 5 days post-op. Lost 15lbs since surgery! Still heavily dependent on pain meds, struggling to get Water and Protein in! Despite my worries, the weight is falling off!

Sleeved 7/1, gained +9 lbs. of Fluid post-op. As of today, I've lost 6 of them. The scale is moving in the right direction!

Took a 20-minute walk to CVS to get my system moving along. Still very swollen internally, making it hard to get liquids in at a fast rate; but day 5 has been the best day as far as pain management and overall alertness/energy levels. I'm hoping it continues to improve daily.

Today I had my first bites of applesauce--I feel like I'm eating haute cuisine! Oooo la la!

I had surgery 7/2 and am only down 2 or 3 pounds. I've been having a hard time getting in my Protein & liquids but I am trying, just get super full super fast. I also am dying to get rid of the gas they blow your belly up with. I'm hoping once that goes away I can get my liquids/protein in like I need to.

Surgery 7/2

I am really struggling with getting the Protein and Water in and am kind of missing the taste of real food. So far I tried nectar and Isopure and at first they taste ok, but halfway down it's just really yucky.

I am mostly walking around the house since its 100 degrees outside, but will try to get out tomorrow.

      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.
