I wanted to see how everyone else is doing?

I weigh in at 191! That's 40lbs down so far and I'm half way to my goal of 150. :) 7 of those lbs were lost on my preop diet.

I'm having trouble with Water, I hate it. Lol I know it's necessary. Also I feel like my hair just keeps coming out! Any tips? Just bought some Biotin Vitamins but they're HUGE!

I hope everyone is doing well!

I just couldn't stomach Water early on. It had to be Gatorade and room temperature at that. It does pass, though. I have me a big glass of Water in front of me right now.

Quick question...everyone always talks about drinking Water, but I've not seem many mention drinking other things. I knows that obviously sodas and things like that are out, but can you drink crystal light post op??

Yeah crystal light counts as Water I do believe.

I have a chewable Biotin that I take. I'll check the brand name for you when I get home.

The only way I can drink Water is with lemon. Lemon also helps curb appetite and aids in digestion. Also a great detox! I'm always buying fresh lemon, since I can't drink anything else but lemon Water.< /p>

I'm six months post op and have tried all sorts of drinks...nothing tastes as good and refreshing as lemon water. Can't do crystal light, g2, or mio...too sweet. I used to be a big milk drinker before surgery, now I don't even touch it because it hurts.

Water, Fruit2 O, Propel, Vitamin Water Zero, Crystal Light, Snapple Diet Iced Tea, Diet Green Tea are all on my list of approved liquids. You can also add sugar free flavorings to water; crystal light, mio, etc

      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.
