Day 5 post op and I don't feel as good as I did a couple days ago. I'm tired and nothing seems to taste good, I find myself gagging on the Protein Shakes and seem to struggle to meet my goals for the day. I've been walking daily which is good, I just wish I had a little more energy. I ended up going and getting the muscle milk someone suggested, (much easier to get down) thanks for that!! On a happy note...Excited to be down 20 pounds since my Pre-op appt 11 days ago. :) hopefully I will start to notice it soon.

It is the only one I could stand to drink too! Today I tried the Cookies and cream one and I didn't care for it. Guess I better stick to the banana cream. I feel like I am eating all of the time but I am soooo thirsty! Congrats on 20 Lbs!! That is awesome!

The last time I weighed, I was 291 and I was stuck there after only a week and a half! Today I am 285lbs. Soooo excited to see the scale move. Down 18lbs in 15 days, and a total of 55 since August. Feeling good about myself for the first time in a very long time. Hope everyone is feeling awesome and has a great day! :D

Heya

How you all doing? I am 3 weeks post op and I have to say I find this whole business much tougher than I thought it would be.

I don't know what to eat! I cannot stomach any porridge stuff so what to have for Breakfast? ? I am also lactose intolerant so I cannot have yogurt or any milk, makes me so so nauseous.

What are you others living off? I can feel that I am not getting enough nutrients in as I am very low and down. Any tips??

I've lost about 22 pounds since the op.

      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.
