Seems like we are all doing about the same. I don't get my Protein or my Water in and exercise is only sporadic. What protein are you guys drinking? I was doing Unjury but it is making me sick. I am just now able to take my chewable vitamins. My blood work all came back ok so I guess I am not doing as bad as I feel like I am.

Rome, I couldn't have said it better myself. This is the first time in my life that I don't think of myself being on a diet. I've changed my life. Nothing is off limits, but I try to make smart choices.

I'm 11 weeks postop (sleeved 5/14) and I'm down 44lbs. I don't stress over the numbers. I was a 20/22 preop and now I'm a 14/16.

However, I've been having problems eating and drinking for the past few weeks. Lots of chest pain and the feeling of food getting stuck, spasms, etc. I'm doing a HIDA scan soon since the ultrasound of my gallbladder checked out ok. These problems have caused me to become dehydrated, get a UTI, and I'm also unable to swallow my Vitamins. I'm a hot mess at the moment. But I'm better than where I used to be! I'm off 2 prescription blood pressure meds.

      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.
