Thank you Krystal0528 =) Congrats 2 you i was in the hospital for 3 days my sugar was a bit out of wack my potassium was low and i had a bit of fever, but i'm glad ur home, fluids and Protein were hard for me as well i actually could not even stand the smell of the shakes after surgery never mind the taste and it lasted a few months but got better as months went by i still can't finish a whole shake once i open it soo i get as much protein as i can through meats, egg, cheese, yogurts etc i had to be patient and just let my body adjust i literally felt like a preggo the first maybe 3 months lol, the smell of certain foods, the taste, weakness, dizziness even me myself i felt that as i was going through the (ketosis phase) i didn't understand why the smell of my breath had changed i felt soo bad everytime i had to talk to someone up close, i just felt like overall my body smelled different if that makes any sense but i had my husband reminding me constantly "no worries honey in a few months from now you'll look back and see that it has all past and all was worth it" and sure enough it has passed, it is behind me and i am a completely NEW person, my advice one day at a time, stay active, get used to carrying a bottle of Water everywhere you go and remember no 2 bodies are the same so don't compare urself to others, patience patience patience just focus and do u, stalls will come just keep doing what you gotta do they will break through =) take care and Congrats again!

Hii betterbeginnings and welcome i can honestly say that from my part the only regret i have is the "why didn't i do this sooner" i mean i'm still young but i feel i lost soo much time being and feeling sick, feeling miserable, stuck for 15+ years not being able to enjoy life, unhealthy with poor self esteem and could have done so much more with my kids and family but i am thankful that i did it because it has been like a new beginning new life and i wouldn't change it for the world =)

      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.
