To all of you who had surgery in the past couple of weeks best of luck to all of you. you have made the best choice to get to your goal weight.

Im not going to lie to you, its tough at first but as anyone will tell you Sip all the fluids you can stand. get in protien by whatever source you can. walk your butts off it helps ease the paint and starts you off on the exercise train.

If something/you does not feel right CALL YOUR SURGEON!!!

But it will start paying off soon, dont cheat!!! exercise and hit your daily numbers.

oh and my advise put the bathroom.scale in the closet. your body will vary daily between 2 to 3 lbs based on.alot of factors.. dont dive yourself crazy!!!! weight yourself once a week or bi-weekly. remember its just a number. judge your progress on how you feel and how your cloths fit.

I wish all of you the best health and a speedy recovery.

RJ

I understand, I can't stand the Isopure. I finally found a Protein Drink that I like, not too heavy or sweet. It is called premier protein- found it at SAMs club, I'm sure you can order online. It has 30g of Protein And low sugar and carbs. You may want tot try that!

      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.
