Your body is going through lots of change and all of us are different. I experienced gout. I recommend drinking lots of Water and it will pass. Just wait until your about 10 weeks out. For me thats when the fun really starts and you begin to feel like superman.

I'm about three months out and I couldn't be happier. I'm down 56 pounds (62% of the way to my goal weight of 190). I haven't been this weight since my sophmore year of highschool. I feel better than I have in 20 years. I no longer take blood pressure medication and I have reduced or eliminated all of the meds I used to take for diabetes. And it hasn't been all that difficult to keep the weight coming off.

Life is great.

      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.
