Today went well, all of the foods I incorporated into my diet all sat well today. Yay!! cheese, tuna, cracker, fish, veggies, and Greek yogurt.

Didn't you have surgery on the 24th too? Holy cow and you're already eating all that stuff? I'm still on full liquid for another week. Lol.

1st meal with soft foods!!! 1/4 egg w 1/4 toast!!! Omg!!!! So great to chew my food!!!

Chewing never felt so good. I had a scrambled egg with a bit of melted cheddar and a topped that with a mild salsa. Yum.

Octavia16, thank you for the thoughts, but.....I had my surgery last year. I'm down 87 lbs and basically at goal. I'd like to drop another 5 but if I don't I'm so happy with my results. Good luck with getting your clearance from insurance. My best advise to you would be - Have a positive attitude and follow your surgeons instructions. For some inspiration, below is a day before surgery and a picture from December. :)

Hi everyone! I think my surgery will be in March. I go today for my psych consult and Feb 11th for my last of 6 month check-ins. Other than one more lab to submit, I'm DONE! I really hope they submit to insurance...I'm so nervous!

Anything I should know for the psych consult today?

      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.
