DL.... U are my inspiration !!! I am 5 months post op and my nut isn't focusing on calories counted only ounces. She had told me at my 3 month follow up that at that point I should be up to about 4oz per meal 3 times a day with no snacking in between only 2 Protein supplements. But as I'd now I can only eat 2.5-3oz per meal. I'm not worried about my calorie intake at the moment.. I only eat Protein and if I'm lucky a bite of veggie. I have followed all the rules and don't cheat at all. My concern however, is after I reach my goal. How will I know what I'm doing?? You are very informative and knowledgable about calories and conversion and everything I would like to know! I think u should teach a class to new RNY patients!!! Thanks for helping us newbies learn and succeed !!!

Thank you so much - you are too kind. As you can see from my previous post above, we are examining some possibilities for reaching out to folks who might benefit from all of our collective experience. Bariatric surgery is a very broad, very exciting subject. None of us has all of the answers and the ones that we do have are changing almost daily. Each of us makes our contribution and I'm thankful to have the opportunity to participate. You guys have a great 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.
