That is not for one person. My wife lost 13lbs and I lost 20lbs. Lossing weight is easy when you don't eat (LOL) Clear Liquids are for the birds. I'm affraid some of our liquids were not that clear. We do like cream Soups. Deb has trouble with some liquids. but I feel like I could eat a horse.

Congrats to both of you, you're doing great. I'm glad you guys made it back in one piece, and I wish you much success.

I didn't do so well on the Clear Liquids either, I lasted 2 days before I added milk, I needed something creamy, my tummy wasn't liking the clears and I was feeling on the naseaus side. I'm 20 days out, and on most regular foods, I haven't tried things that are dry or doughy, and I'm avoiding breads, and red meats, except ground beef that's broken up in Soup or sauce.

Has Deb tried the chewable pepcid for her reflux? It sure helped mine that first week, the clears seemed to bring it on for me.

Hang in there, it's all downhill from here <VBS>

So glad to hear you both are doing so well!!!!!!!! Keep up the good work. I hope your reflux gets better. Glad to hear Debbie is doing better. I was fortunate, I take Prevacid everyday, so I had it under control before surgery, or else I would have been miserable for sure. You guys take care ok, and keep smiling.

Hugz to you both

Jodie

Thank for the encouragement. Deb is doing much better. The reflux is not bothering her. She is not able to handle anything to thick. I not have any problems. I did eat some Soup call chicken tortilla. Big mistake the tortilla laid way to heavy.

      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.
