Hi Lucy,

How are you doing? I too had my surgery the same day.Was in overnight and so far so good.

Are you getting your shakes in ok? I'm counting the days until I can have scrambled eggs and cottage cheese.< /p>

Tonight I had the suggested broth, it was ok, now I even look at my chewable vitamins like food.< /p>

Two more days of shakes left, and I must admit it's been hard.

Talk soon, and congratulations.

I hope both of you are doing well! 2 more days to my surgery. This is a journey, to teach us how to eat healthfully again. To help us learn correct portion sizes. I would love to hear how everyone is doing!

Hi Sue,

Congrats are in order, you made it to through the light! Now your life can only improve! Drink your shakes, take your Vitamins and try to get some Water in. Each day will get better. I'm 9 days post-op and I feel awesome!.

Our goal weight is about the same, maybe we can share each other's clothes, lol. They'll be brand new because we'll have to buy all new ones. Remember, purple is my favorite color and anything black, oh yes, and I love glitter. Not gaudy though!

Hugs,

Jodi

      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.
