Today I went to the doc for my two week post op appointment. Everyone was pleased with my progress and how well I'm doing. The dietitian was surprised at the amount of Protein I am getting, thanks to Premier Protein shakes.

I also got my drain out after having it for two weeks. It gave me a bit of pain after it was taken out. I'm do I g better now.

I got to eat some mashed potatoes and a small piece of canned chicken. It tasted so good and didn't bother my stomach.

I do feel great and I'm glad I got my surgery.

That's great! I've notice that my cloths fit differently now too, but I refuse to get new ones until I've lost a bit more weight. I had the cravings, too, one week after surgery, and I didn't cave either.

I'm so glad you're doing well!

As of today I have lost a total of 17.5 lbs. tomorrow marks week 2. I have been keeping track of my inches and I can tell you I have lost anywhere from 0.5 to 2 inches in various places. I measured my neck, upper and lower legs,paper and lower arms, bust, under bust, waist, gut and buttocks. I am so stoked at this point. I think I am in my first stall. I have only lost a pound in the last two days, but I know I will return to weight loss.

      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.
