One month today!!! I've had my ups and downs. I'm still trying to get into a routine since I started back to work. I get fustrated because I lost 16 lbs the first week and a half now I'm stuck at the same weight for the past 2 1/2 weeks. When will I loose again?

Doing great thanks, except a pill getting stuck in my esophagus last night for the first time. Down 30#, but seeing weight loss slowing now. Trying to go to the gym regularly and walk. I go back to the surgeon tomorrow for her to hopefully advance me to soft foods!

That s good to hear that your doing good. Be careful with pills that happened to me once also. I'm surprised your not on soft foods already I've been on them for two weeks already. Every Dr is different.

What did you do when a pill got stuck? It still feels weird at the bottom of my esophagus today and it's been well over 12 hours. I am able to eat and drink though...

Yeah, my doctor is very slow progressing the food stages. It got drilled in our heads prior to surgery the risk of rupturing our pouches...i was on liquids for a week after surgery (no protein) then pureeds for a month! I am so sick of it! What do you like to eat on the soft stage?

      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.
