I just turned one month yesterday.....

How are you guys doing after one month??

What are you eating? I still prefer soft stuff.

Are you able to drink your Protein? Me most of it.

Are you drinking all your fluids? I can't.

Are you guys exercising yet? I'm afraid to start.

How about them Vitamins? I'm taking regular pills

Any hair issues? I'm also taking Biotin to try to prevent.

How's your energy? I'm starting to feel much better, feel my energy coming back..

Think im doing ok for the most part. a little over a month out... got kind of tired of the thick shakes so i started making my own portein drinks with a diet ocean spray drink of some sort and Protein powder. pretty tasty and a nice break from the shakes.< /span>

My energy level comes and goes. some days i feel like im good and ready to go. other days im like look, today is going to be a 'no do nothing day'.

Vitamins would work so much better im sure if i remembered to take them. I take about 7 pills a day so I usually try to pack them up in advance and always run out of the house and leave them behind on the counter.

still eating mushy type foods....canned chicken has become my best friend. I'm learning to make all sorts of chicken meal variations.

and then theres the Water....just like the vitamins...my Water intake would be so much more if i would just remember to drink it. at first i couldnt drink just plain water. needed some sort of drink enhancer in it but now i cant stomach the mio's, crystal light makes me nauesous and that dasani water stuff....forget it. don't know whats going on with that.

i get cleared for exercise at my 6 week check up in october. really excited about that! i miss zumba

glad you're feeling better!

I'm 5 weeks out today. My doc put me on B12 shots once a month because i was so tired. My hubby didn't like giving it to me but he got over it!! I think I feel better?? I can eat most anything as long as I eat slow and sm bites. I bought a pill box and set my pills up for the week and keep it on the counter right by the frig. Haven't forgot once since i did this...

      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.
