I am cleared for soft foods- so I've been doing some deli meat, cheeses, cottage cheese, fruits, lowfat ground pork/beef. How are you guys doing in weight loss? I did really well for the first 10 days after surgery and now I feel like it's going soo slow! I'm probably just being impatient!

@@gbstreck I've lost a total of 25 lbs. I lost 12 lbs pre-op and 13 lbs post-op and I've lost a total of 9 inches so far. I'm very pleased with my weight loss! I did have a whole week where I didn't lose anything though. How are you doing?

@@sleevegirl2 What stage are you at right now?

Congratulations!! I had gastric bypass May 21st, lost 15 pounds pre surgery and am down 19 since surgery. I guess I am just confused because I lost most of those 19 pounds in the first 10 days and now it's been pretty flat so I'm second guessing myself that I'm doing something wrong! After I write that it's pretty ridiculous that I'm even questioning it!

I lost 40 pounds since surgery. I didn't have a preop diet so basically it's been all within the last month.

I am still on the full liquid stage, however I did try some chicken and Beans, and it was okay, I felt fine. It's so weird cause then the next day I had Tomato Soup and I feel like I'm overfull and the food is just sitting in my throat. :(

@@sleevegirl2 WOW! 40 lbs, that's awesome! Oh I am so glad I only had to stay on full liquids for a week! I couldn't have handled it any longer, lol. I do the same thing with foods, one day I'll be able to eat almost a whole scrambled egg, then the next day only 2 bites! Every food is going to be different. It's crazy but I'm guessing it's the new "normal".

@@gbstreck 19 lbs in less than 3 weeks is amazing! You are definitely doing a great job!

Have either of you started exercising yet? All I'm cleared for right now is walking, swimming, and I'm able to use those resistant bands.

No, I have just been walking. I've been having some trouble with back pain that radiates around to one of my incisions- so it's been painful to do much of anything, unfortunately :( looking forward to getting started to see how it will help my weight loss progress!

Ok. Not sure how this site works. I am 19 days post op. Never had vomiting and trying to work on 60 minute rule for liquids r/e food. Tough!

      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.
