Hi tbooks

So far so good. I had a bit of a rough start. Had serious blood loss, which lead to a couple of blood transfusions. It was pretty scary, but I had an awesome medical team around. I was glad that it happened before I was discharged. As for weight loss i've lost 18lbs since my pre-op shakes. Only 8lbs since the surgery, but loss, is loss. How has your journey been?

Welcome and so glad you are doing good now, I bet you are feeling better and stronger every day. Just keep doing what program your Doc has laid out for you and the weight will come off, This isn't a race, slow and steady and taking care of you are what is so very important.

      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.
