Today marks two weeks since my surgery. It was rough in the beginning but each day really has gotten better. In the first week I thought many times that I should not have done this. I just knew I had ruined my life. My attitude has improved as I have began to feel better. I am getting in all my Fluid and Protein with no problem and am feeling more like myself all the time. This morning I stepped on the scale for the first time since my surgery. I have lost 32 pounds in two weeks! On my DOS I weighed 330 and today I am at 298. It has been a LONG time since I have seen a 2 at the beginning of my weight. I know I have made the right decision for myself and I am so excited to see where this journey leads!

Congratulations on the weight lost. I know the feeling. When I saw 211 my highest I was shock but when it was 197 after 15lbs lost from 30 day diet. I felt wonderful. I knew it was possible.

I am glad you feel more confident! Just remember that first week will probably suck. It sure did for me and I wasn't expecting that which made it even harder. Just remember it gets better quickly!

      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.
