Hi - sorry I didn't see this earlier. I am doing really well. I am taking Soups, putting them in the blender and even adding some Parmesan cheese. It's very creamy almost like a puree'. It's 6 TB at a serving but no issues. I can drink a bottle of Water like a normal person. Sips but normal sips and it takes about 30 - 45 minutes to have a drink. I am going to try mashed potatoes today :) How are you doing?

I'm finally starting to drink water like a normal person too. It's a good feeling. I've been waking up sooo thirsty in the morning. I'm down 22 lbs in 13 days. Down 1 jean size which is a great feeling. Feeling a lot better all the way around. My incisions are healing nicely just still very itchy! I'll have to try a pureed veggie Soup. I've been craving soft veggies soooo much lately.

She asked me if I had any questions afterward and I was like "does the hospital have wifi? Can I bring my xbox?" Lmao!!

Ok so happy surgery day to those that had it today. I pray everyone had a good surgery and resting and building strength for the road to the new you. My surgery is one week from today. The nerves are starting to work overtime so right now I am staying busy by gardening, cleaning, rearranging the furniture and completing my finals for school! Wedding anniversary is today, but my cake went on my nose for photo sake not in my mouth! Lol, im ready we can do this!

      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.
