They may not be sensitive to what you're going through. She probably believe she was just making a lighthearted joke. Like I say, just let it roll off of you like Water off a ducks back. You don't want to go in with any type of stress it's not helpful.

@@walkin'onsunshine its okay, I'm glad you are doing well! Hopefully it gets better, I've been walking 3 miles a day since friday to relieve some of the pain. Whàt can yoù eat so far? We all have so many differrent plans.

Today I start 3 weeks of puréed foods. Went to 2 week post op appointment today. They said I need to eat more. Puréed has no requirements except the obvious. I do have a low grade fever. But other than that seems to be going well. Started at the gym a couple days ago. Can now lift up to 25 pounds.

Thanks @layknee. For some reason it just really bugged me. Going to try and be stress free now! :)

Wow walkin'onsunshine. I cant believe you are lifting weights. My surgeon said no lifting greater then 10lbs for 6 weeks. These Doctors are so different on there post op orders.

Cross posted from the pre surgery thread. I have hit a stall. 4 days of the same weight so far. I knew it was about to come soon. I've read these threads so often that I'm not too worried about it right now. Some have the stall for a full 2 weeks. I know it will start going down eventually.

thanks.

Hopefully they figure out what's going on with you. Is it a constant feeling or is it intermittent?

Hey, hey. October 2nd here. So waiting for Thursday to actually be on pureed food. Spaghetti was for dinner tonight, I am so sad.

Omg! It was spaghetti night in my house also and I had to cook it. It smells so good. Im hating the fact that I can't eat any. :( Surgery date is 10/23

i can't drink lately. It's start cramping with Just a couple of sips. I know I'm dehydrated. The most Fluid I've got in, in a day, is about maybe 24ounces. Last thing I ate was some pumpkin pie yogurt yesterday evening.

when I go in today I think they are going to keep me. I'm so scared. I can't afford to cry even my eyes are dry and irritated.

Maybe it's a stricture. I hope they find out what's wrong. It's probably best that they keep y p u to give you fluids that you need.

      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.
