How are all my tidewater people doing?? I'm about to be 4 months out and still feel like I can't eat a lot. I can't eat a whole plate of food. But I can snack on goldfish. So I have to tell myself "if u can eat goldfish then u can eat this chicken!" I ate oatmeal for the first time tonight. Unflavored Unjury is my Protein savior right now!!!

HOW AWESOME IS THAT!!! Almost a 4!!! CONGRATS!!!! Post a pic!!!! The profile pic is too small for my eyes. LOL. I started out at 290/a size 22-24 (which was probably tighter than it should be. LOL) I'll be four months out on Saturday and I'm an 18 almost a 16 and 220. So I have a ways to go before I get anywhere near u. My problem is working out. I have been horrible about it...a day here a day there. But few and far between. I need to get on it. I really have a fear that I'm going to pass out bc I'm not drinking enough and I know my hydration is deficient. How r u with working out?

Hang in there. It gets better. I am a true witness!!!! I didn't begin to feel "normal" until about month 2. Each day is better, then you have a not so good day, then it continues to get better...but by about month 2 I was no longer feeling "blah". And once I went back to work and was able to get in the three meals I was supposed to since I was back on a routine I felt even BETTER!!! Just take it one day at at time, don't rush it and let your recovery be your recovery. Don't compare yourself to others - which is very easy to do on this site. LOL. Once I let go of determining "where I should be by this time in recovery" to others I did a lot better. Good luck with things. I will tell you I am sooo blessed and happy to have been able to have this surgery. It has made such a difference in the quality fo my life I can't believe it.

Sorry it took soo long for me to reply, I have been having issues with my brain disorder lately and so I haven't felt like taking a pic... But I finally pulled myself somewhat together to take a pic! As far as working out, I try to work out every day except weekends but can't do it when my Migraines are acting up and I don't beat myself up about it, I just say maybe I will be able to go tomorrow or the next day!

      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.
