Everything was tasting different to me and it has finally started getting back to normal. Crazy.

The sushi didn't taste different to me. It was very good! My new tummy, however, thought otherwise. :/ I kept it down, both ways (barely), but it was very painful and uncomfortable. It went away a couple of hours later.

Walked my first 5k Saturday. I wasn't last. I walked the Blue Shoe walk for prostate cancer in honor of my dad who died from this cancer in 1990! It felt so amazing to do this!

It's so strange. They warned me though. I just can't wrap my head around how different it is for everyone. Some things I thought would definitely make me sick didn't and other stuff I thought would be fine ended up making me sick. I LOVE sushi, but I only used to eat it maybe 3 times a year, if that. I hope I can still eat it, just not nearly as much if it. No more all you can eat for me!! Lol

I had wls on 7.28 I'm down 20 pounds since surgery 42 altogether. I'm struggling with the thick Protein Shakes I once loved. I switched back to the fruit ones but I'm not hitting my Protein goal with shakes alone. I need to keep better track with my fitness pal because sometimes I'm not sure I got enough protein in for the day. I miss the ease of the shakes, but its all good.

People are starting to notice, which is both good and bad. I don't really want to share with everyone what "my secret" is, because I don't want to deal with the whispers. But, I am a bad liar, so if I'm asked outright I don't lie. It's nice to come on here and read about and talk to people who know what I'm going through. It's very comforting.

I absolutely have no regrets. I just don't want to screw this up.

      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.
