Been awhile since I've been on here I'm 8 week post op. still having issues getting food to digest properly. But I'm losing which is amazing. So Jan 2012 I started at 304 I'm now 229. 268 at surgery on aug 29. Love the reaction I'm getting from friends and family but most of all I love my new body and lifestyle would not change for world!!!!

Congrats! Sounds like you are doing great. I'm from T.O and I had my surgery on Sept 5. Sounds like we are at a pretty similar place. What foods have you been having problems with digesting? Hope things improve for you soon. Good luck.

Hi Crystal, I'm Patricia. I had my surgery at Toronto Western on Sept 5. So far everything has been great. Are you home already? Good luck, if there is anything I can help with let me know. The first few weeks were frustrating. Make sure to not over due things, I remember getting tired so quickly. Take care.

      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.
