Going for my 1 week post-op appointment tomorrow! I can't believe it's been a week already!! Fingers crossed for a good wl amount- according to my scale I'm down 13 pounds- I'm curious to see how close his scale and mine are :-) also hoping I don't get in trouble- I moved myself to the puréed foods and soft foods stage earlier than his schedule- but I've done really well with it! We'll see what he says :-)

Just a word of caution... Dont move to quickly into stages. The pouch needs time to heal which is why the guidelines are there. Good luck on your appointment.

Yeah- I got in trouble for it :-/ have to stay on liquids for 1 more week then I can move to soft foods. Said if I come off liquids too soon I could pop a staple and that would be very bad :-( so I will obey drs orders this week :-)

      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.
