I am 15 days out and you can have avocados. If you make guacamole, I would use half am avacado and mix with Greek yogurt, pico, And a little garlic powder and Cheyenne pepper. Use a blender to purée consistency. You might mix Protein Powder with refried Beans and season. Dallas of this guacamole with it. Fill you up quick and Protein in everything (: hope that helps

Wow way to go Jaci and Kenny! Great job! I have lost 55 lbs now this yr. It's tough going somedays I fight the food demon on a daily basis :(. I am losing way slower then I wanted. But other things are great I have way more energy! I coach my 5 yr olds soccer team and assist on my 9 yr olds baseball team! I was up on the roof painting my siding this weekend! I am going on a weekend camp out with Scouts Canada this June. Last year I would not have moved of my lawn chair! This to me is huge! I went from a 22 to a comfortable 16. Keep up the great work everyone!

Major pain tonight, out if nowhere. I buckled over for a good 30 min shrieking and unable to move. Pain felt like pouch was enflamed. I dry heaved for a while. Tried to use the bathroom. I was tempted to go to ER, even wondered if it's appendix but then It finally eased - but isn't gone.

Anyone ever had or heard of this?

When did you last eat. It could be dumping syndrome, I had similar pain about an hour after I ate and thought I was having a heart attack. It eased up after about an hour but I felt miserable for several hours. I ate too much or too fast.

I'm wondering if that's what happened. I eventually got sick last night and once food was up the pain went away. I have been eating a couple of crackers just before this happened, I was cleaning the kitchen so I was eating mindlessly. Perhaps I wasn't chewing enough, maybe I just shouldn't eat crackers - even just a couple.

That pain was insane, it started I could feel my pouch then it spread to the center of my abdomen and around my back. But once crackers came up - it was gone. I learned my lesson. I shouldn't be eating crackers anyway, i'm 10 lbs from my goal, so I allow myself a treat once in awhile.

Thank you for the reply, it helped me get through

I am having a hard time staying under 1000 calories and anything I eat no longer seems to fill me up. After I eat I feel hungry again like an hour later. Anyone know what I should do or what foods do you all eat that fills you?

So, I havent been on here in a while, but I am doing great. 90 pounds lost, from a size 22-24 to a 14-16. Have had a ton of complications, the most recent one is from me fainting. I am now going to follow up with a cardiologist to see why my blood pressure keeps dropping. I am eating about 1000 calories a day and 70-80 grams of Protein and 72 ounces of Water. I am back to working part time and have had no problems adjusting. I hope everyone is well!

      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.
