I'm 12 days post op and down 10 pounds. But my concern is I'm not getting my Protein bc frankly it's disgusting and I can't stand it and second my chewable multi Vitamin is also nasty. I have no appetite and I just feel blaaaah!!

Try Bariatric Advantage EA Multi Vitamins; They taste like sweet tarts!

Also Adkins ready to drink Protein Shakes are pretty darn good!

So.... It has been 3 weeks post op. How is everyone doing?

I have heard sooooo much about the 3 week stall that I have decided to put my scale away starting tomorrow... Just for about 1.5 weeks. I am one of those ppl who will stress over not seeing it move.

I actually get my BA from my Dr's office, but it's the same price online.

I am so happy to announce that I put my scale away this morning.... After getting on it of course. I am a everyday weigher and I have decided not to get back on the scale for 2 weeks. So I "hope" I can stick to it. I figured this would be the perfect time because of the "3 week stall" talk among the boards.

I just hope that the scale moves a little while I'm on hiatus.

Hey guys! I've been having nausea really bad for about a week and I'm thinking my stomach wasn't ready for soft foods yet so I switched back to full liquids for now. I have a really sensitive stomach to begin with so I'm okay with it as long as I don't feel so sick! As of a few days ago I've lost 22 pounds total, woohoo!

      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.
