Surgery was on the 5th and all has been going well pain was only for 2 days and that was gone, I'm now on my 3 week 3 day full liquid which allows cottage cheese, cream Soup, yogurt, applesauce.

My journey began with a slipped lap band and that needed to be removed due to overfill and deflate did not correct the pouches the slip created. My surgery wait time was only 2 months and my insurance approved the revision in about 3 days.

So now my new journey has begun no weight loss yet, doctor said this is normal and about 2 weeks out I will begin to lose or notice the loss of weight.

Strange thing for me and unexpected is I am not hungry I haven't felt full or empty and that's kinda weird but that will help I'm sure.

      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.
