Yes, I hear you about the breast. I feel the same. Just remember while working out you are also building muscle. Muscle weights more than fat. So what I'm saying is it may read different on the scale, however you may see it more in your measurements at first or how your clothes fit :-) . But working out is great to rev up those Muscles to burn more for you :-) creating more burning of the fat cells.

I use my Spanx and did right after I got home. Loved it and it helped so much w the pain by holding tummy in and supporting it :-) I agree w the uncomfortable binder :-(

Congrats :-) you're doing great!!!

I think you'll be fine as well :-) congrats moving to the next step :-) Didn't you say you've been moved to puréed earlier. Happy you're are doing well and tolerating foods ;-)

I have had the wonton Soup and it was good. I couldn't eat much of it. The noodle part was good' date=' gave me some energy (carbs), but of course wasn't very nutritional, so I made sure my other two meals were. It was nice to sit with others and eat something "normal".[/quote']

When you had the wonton soup, where you on the pureed food stage? If so, how did you eat the wonton?

      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.
