You know my doctor put me on Clear Liquids in the hospital for 2 days and then on day 3 when I was going home my Breakfast was an egg and lunch was really chopped chicken with ff mayo and a canned unsweetened pear. Of course I didn't want it but since I have been home I eat cottage cheese' date=' tuna, ff refried Beans and stuff like that. I wonder why we have different diets?[/quote']

Oh my gosh--every doctor has a different plan! It's crazy how different they can be!

I have one day of clear liquids then on to puree. Protein only. No refried beans. Also if it is to heavy i fall back on the clear liquids.

I'm feeling a little frustrated. I was down 11 lbs the first week after surgery and then maintaining. I weigh myself in the mornings' date=' and I've gained a pound a day for the past two days. I'm getting all my Protein and liquids in and walking so I really don't get it! Isn't this supposed to be the honeymoon phase where the weight is just pouring off? Could it be that I'm due for my period soon? But still... This is really frustrating!

From what I've read on other month's boards, it is totally normal to have week long stalls, sometimes even two or three weeks at a time. Some people lose a lot at first, but most of us go in fits and starts. Don't get down about it, it will eventually come off again.

refried beans is very high in protein. My tummy loves those the best. I put a little cheese and microwave it so it smushy and 25-30 sec. and then put a very little bit of ff sour cream. It is so good and high in protein. Not many calories...about 60

You did not even chew on the blue ice? In sure they tested you during the surgery though.

I didn't have those tests either. Just nothing by mouth the first day and the second day was 42 oz of liquids started really slowly. I tolerated that just fine and now on day 6 and up to 64 oz.

Its this frozen ice with a blue dye added to it. You chew it up and if it goes thru your drain bags your stomach is leaking.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
