Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

I'm Lindsay, 21, with two beautiful boys. I started this journey weighing 363lbs, I had surgery july 24th 2013 which would put me a little over 3 weeks out. At my two week weigh in I was down 23lbs. Its good to see the scale go down for once. Im currently on the aoft and mushy foods stage two is whay they call, it but there really isnt any difference between stage one and two. But I just want to inteoduce myself and say im glad I downloaded this app and found this page.

Thanks.

Welcome Lindsay, I had surgery 2 weeks ago, and I based my decision to have the procedure after several weeks of reading posts on this site. Lots of information and new friendships.

Congratulations on the weight loss, isn't exciting to see the scale move down for once?! I found this site just after my surgery as well and thank goodness otherwise I would have been lost. The support group where I used to live just wasn't very active, most of what you need or want to know can be found on here anyway. Just always be sure and double check with either the Doc or the Nut on info you find here to be on the safe side.

      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.
