I really haven't stuck to a routine. I know what I have to get Protein wise and just try to get it in. I have been sick so much the past couple months with only about 2 weeks where I kind of ate. I love Kroger's low fat crackers. I will get a can of tuna and tablespoon of mayo and 5 crackers and have that for lunch or dinner. I sometimes eat a dannon lite and fit Greek yogurt blueberry or strawberry for Breakfast or snack. I use to love cream of chicken Soup but since gallbladder surgery last week the smell kills me. I am more or less starting at the beginning again as I was in Clear Liquids while i was in the hospital and placed back on full liquids now till I see the surgeon on Wednesday. I was originally placed on regular foods at 6 weeks post op.

Hello October buddies. My surgery was oct 9th. My heaviest ever was 308

My surgery weight was 262

Today's weight is 210!

I worry I am not doing well or it is coming off to slow :( I am happier than ever. I feel so much better physically. I just wish I had more support in my real life. If I hear one more time. "Is that all you are going to eat" I might cry.

mullberry, I think we are all worried about the same things but if we look at it we are all losing about at the same pace. I just wish I could exercise like I am suppose to as I believe this is why I am not losing more but its physically impossible right now until I recover from all these procedures I have had since surgery. so far I haven't heard any comments I just get the baking chocolate cakes and eating chips and candy in front if me. even though I didn't eat it prior to surgery that much but when your main meal is a cracker and tuna ...

I don't get the food comments either--only thing is when we eat w my mom, she constantly asks me if I'm feeling sick! Lol I tolerate most any foods--haven't thrown up any but have had couple spells of nausea or dumping. I feel like I've been really lucky.

I have to say I am doinv great! DOS 10/3/12 220 down to 169 i can wear a size 12 sometimes 10. I feel great. I shop a lot LOL! But only low prices. I am hoping to get down to an 8. I never thought I would feel this way about myself. A guy at work says I even walk differently. My husband can't keep his hands off me. Exercise is my friend now. But best of all I can wear skinny jeans and my boots zip all the way up.

      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.
