@lockhb I'm a day over two weeks out and have one incision that's not healing well. Saw the doctor Friday and he put a bandaid on it and told me to keep it covered until it's healed. He didn't seem concerned at all so I guess I won't be eiether.

On my last day of stage 1. For me that meant liquids only. So Water (of course), Popsicles, Jello, broth, and towards the end of that week I added Protein Drinks. Won't lie, I am starved!

This is what I am still on and mentally it drives me crazy. I do this for a week then I can add in Protein Shakes, Soup, and other liquids for two more weeks I am not supposed to have soft or pureed food for three weeks after surgery and I am only 6 days post op today going insane this is almost as bad as the pre diet except no hunger pains

I had a hard time getting enough energy to even get my walks in. I am hopeful that now that I am stage 2 I can get a bit more nutrition in. I can't believe they have you on liquids so long.

Sitting here waiting to be called back to see the surgeon is just as bad as waiting for surgery day to come. Which is tomorrow!!!! I will update when I can.

      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.
