Well... I finally got what I have been waiting for. My bypass was a week ago (12/20). Doing well, was able to start my full liquid diet today. I was feeling week just drinking crystal Light, but feeling better with the small amount of light foods I am allowed now. Looking forward to seeing the weight melt off!!!

My gastric was on 01/11/12 so we aren't that far apart date wise just a couple weeks! I too was feeling very weak on the full liquid diet and was extremely happy once I was able to start on the mushy stage! I had a question for you when you 1st started on the mushy foods did you have any kind of pain at all in your stomach like it felt like your stomach was heavy, I every now and then will get a pain in mine and I don't know if it's because it's telling me my stomach is full or if something is wrong so I was wondering if you've experienced the same thing!

Vam... I had my surgery on Nov. 29,2011... I had the same problem when I started eating mushy foods. My stomach was paining me each time I ate now once I started experiencing that feeling Often, I knew my body was telling me I was full. But remember everybody's body is different.

      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.
