And when do you do your pre op diet ? After you turn everything in or after you meet with your nutritionist?

I'm 5 weeks post op. If anything I go to the bathroom less. Have to take stool softeners now. I think I donets pee as much because I'm not drinking caffeine now. I was a big diet dr pepper drinker. So far I haven't lost cup size but back fat has gone down so bras are not tight now.

I started my 2 week preop once I was approved by my insurance company and had my surgery date. Some surgeons require more time based on your bmi. Some dont require preop diet at all.

No my moms friend told me to try the stool softeners. They are not harsh. My dr recommended Miralax. I may get some of that but was afraid that it would make me gag.

You will eventually lose boobs. Some more than others. It depends on how much is fat or real boob. It sounds funny but true. I've lost about 75 pounds before and went from a d to a c plus a much smaller band size. :-)

Never a stupid or dumb question :)

Remember that the key to weight loss is pretty much a simple math equation decreased intake increased output. This just means that you take in less calories and burn more calories resulting in a net loss.

Just performing everyday functions your body burns calories. After surgery most people struggle to get in even 800-1000 calories a day and on liquids your probably only getting 400 or so. This means your burning more calories than your taking in so you "burn fat". Your body begins to burn your fat stores for energy. This is where your fat goes :). Unfortunately at first you will also lose some muscle as your burning too much too fast but dont worry!! Just get your Protein in.

Hope this answered your question :)

      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.
