I agree' date=' gas pain is really bad! Hope you'll feel better soon, I started feeling like a human being yesterday, 3 days after the surgery and even slept on my stomach last night. Good luck!![/quote']

Omg I can't believe you were able to sleep on your stomach. I can't barely sleep on my side.

Thanks so much I am surprised I don't see the weight loss but but numbers don't lie !!

Do you measurements too. You will be really surprised and happy seeing that too. I have a hard time seeing my loss too. I did my measurements the other day and that made me feel better.

Kinsse first I got what's called the Duodenal Switch which is a little more extensive then the gastric bypass. I also eat sugar free pudding and cream Soups and also Greek yogurt. It's hard to get anything in really but I do. I also have alot of waters and alot of sugar free Popsicles I haven't really done much different I cannot wait will I can eat food tho! But you have lost 10lbs !! Congrats on that! My goal was to finally get under 300lbs! When I saw that I was 286 I cried I haven't been under 300 In a long time!

Ohh and your swelling could be worse than mine because I see how you have the lap the turned to open you could be alot more swollen and that where your weight is at too! But be proud you already lost 10lbs!!!

Oh no, this sucks but it shows you how important the hydration is... I hope you feel better soon! Remember that you can do Popsicles and it will count for like 3-4 oz of Water, depending on the size... Keeping my fingers crossed that it was first and last visit to ER! Take care!!!

      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.
