I was thinking "tworeffic"...but then I googled it and saw another forum using "twoterville". That could work. :-)

I agree that this group is doing so well! I'm an April post op too. Surgery was April 1 and thankfully no complications. HW 240 SW 230 and CW 212.8. I stalled for about 10 days where the scale didn't move but I've been told that's normal. Just focusing on taking all my Vitamins, getting a minimum of 70g of Protein daily, light exercise like walking and drinking my Water. Some days easier than others but so far so good. Congrats everyone!

Well 2lbs is great remember they say you can gain quite alot in hospital from fluids they pump u with i know i checked a few days after surgery and i was up 12lbs from sw and now 10 days post op im down 16lbs from sw.....are you able to drink anything? Or does that give you a bad taste too? Maybe try brushing your teeth that helps me i think its cuz we are so used to eating all the time that now i get a bland taste in my mouth all the time lol

      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.
