Limited soft foods for the next 4 weeks, then gradually add meat and other stuff back in.

So blessed and thankful!!

Hi folks - Had the surgery on 6/11. Started the pre-op testing (cardio,pulmonary, specialists, psych, etc.) back in January but hit a snag with insurance that postponed my date for over a month. Started in mid-January at 348 lbs: date of surgery weight was 295 ( thanks to an extended liquid diet because of the delay ) and now around 290. Its only been 5 days so my body must be going through an adjustment. I'm staying off the scale for a while until I start feeling more "normal" again.

Hi guys,

I start my pre-op diet tomorrow. And I must say I am very nervous about this surgery as it is becoming real the closer I get. I am having moments where I want to back out......

Hey guys,

5 days post op.. Confused!!! Never feel hungry, but also when i start sipping never feel full.. I sip insanely slow.. Maybe thats why???

I barely get 40-41 oz a day, and my dr told me 80!!!! Its just too hard, if you drink fast-you know what happens..

I will start my Protein Shakes tomorrow.

Almost 10 pounds lost so far from surgery day.

Feeling nervous is normal; just keep reminding yourself why you want to do this. I had my moments, too, but now that I'm 2 weeks post-op, I feel much better, and am very happy I went through with it.

Hey guys!

Just got my surgery done on the 14th,

2 days ago.

I'm a little bit sore but okay, waking up from the anesthesia is the worst part but it gets better by the hour.

I'm still having a really hard time getting in my 2 liters but i'm better than yesterday. Trying to keep a positive attitude ☺

Thanks for the encouragement.

For those of you who are running a low grade fever, without any other symptoms. Get up and move more, feel your lungs up with plenty of oxygen, and increase Water. Good Luck......

      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.
