Happy 2 weeks everyone!!

I can't believe it's only been 2 weeks truthfully. I remember when I've had a day of overdoing it. I too am dealing with itchy incision sites, but the steri-strips are off on all but one and that seems to have helped a tiny bit.

My doctor's orders puts me on puréed food starting tomorrow for THREE WEEKS (!!!). I'm looking forward to some change at this point, but I can imagine after the second week, it might get boring lol. But that's what I signed up for, right? Lol oh well.

My biggest struggle right now, besides getting in the 64oz of Fluid, is the pure exhaustion. Still not completely sleeping well, but that's getting better thankfully. However, I was an energizer bunny before the surgery and that's a hard habit to break. Unfortunately, I just don't have the energy to do that anymore but my head hadn't gotten the memo until recently. After spending the entire day out and about, and even with several breaks and came home exhausted and with pain in my incision sites. Trying not to make that mistake again, but it's hard.

How's everyone else doing?

I'm doing very well! I go for my follow-up visit with my doctor tomorrow. I will probably go to pureed foods by then. I really have not felt exhausted. My monthly did come a few days ago and the first day had me out! Only then was a very exhausted. May God bless everyone! Keep up the good work.

Happy 3 wks!! How's everyone doing? I'm finally getting over the sheer exhaustion I was feeling over wk 2 and am oddly ok with the pureed food. Had a NSV (Non scale Victory) today-I bought boots at DSW! They are wide calf still, but they fit!! I went to one of the plus size stores to find boots, as usual, and they were all too big. I didn't think I had lost any inches on my legs but I will take it! Bought TWO pairs!!

How's everyone doing?

Happy 4 wks everyone. How's everything going?

Officially hit the 30lb mark and having many more NSV which to me has been even better lol. I was never much of a numbers girl (until that number was too big) so those sometimes motivate me more than the scale does. Anyone taking weekly pics? That has helped as well.

Hope everyone is doing well!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
