Hi All!!! Today is day 14 post surgery and I am feeling great!! I went for my after surgery check-up yesterday, and everything is going just than planned. My doctor is such a nice, cool guy and I really appreciate him being honest and open about this journey. And thanks to my nutritionist's strict guideline (again, I thank my doctor for being real w/me) I am going to, from this day forward get my Protein Drinks in though I do not enjoy drinking them. Not to get off topic, but I am drinking a very tasty Protein Shake, it's CORE POWER strawberry banana, 20g. Protein, and I buy them at shoprite. Anyway, I decided today that, though my doctor told me my stomach is fine to take in foods, I will drink at least 1 protein shake in the morning and another throughout and keep up with my Vitamins. I think when I eat first I kinda screw up the room in my belly for the rest of the day, therefore it feels uncomfortable to consume the Protein Shakes. I went shopping for some shorts and am down 2 sizes and I went from a sz xxl to m-l in shirts, I even bought a size small lol, not sure if it will fit, but it looked like it!! Btw, first weigh in, 207, 200 day of surgery, and 185 yesterday. I feel great, hope you all do too!!!

      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.
