That sounds so good right now. I start full liquids on Friday and I can't wait to have a small bowl of cream of wheat for Breakfast and a Greek yogurt for lunch. Maybe do a Tomato Soup for dinner.

yes to your question sysnowden. even now I can hear my stomach digest my food. I can also feel when the food goes from the pouch to stomach. I love that pop type feeling that I can hear. I know after that my food is going to not get stuck. if you have just eaten and you have the hunger type sounds and feelings drink fluids. that should help stop any sounds coming from your stomach.

I got banded on 2/18 and only did Clear Liquids for one day. I am on full liquids now with no problems.

I'm so jealous lol. I was banded on February 14th and today is my last day of clear liquids. The only good thing out of this is that I lost 12 pounds in 6 days.

I got on the wii fit today to weigh. I have lost 6lbs since surgery day (1 week plus 1day ago). If you add in the 10 day pre-op diet weight, that puts me at 24.9lbs loss total.

Still on liquids until next Friday, then I can have purée foods. Can't wait for that.

If you want a Protein Drink that is clear like Gatorade, try Isapure. It's zero carbs, and had 40 grams of Protein. smoothie King carries them or you can order on line.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
