So today is my 2 weeks....first off i would like to say the journey has been actually not too bad. I have only threw up a few times and that was as soon as i was discharged from the clinic...i was so darn thirsty...other than that been good. Have not had a fill yet. Does anyone experience hiccups? All the time? Seems like i drink Water and get hiccups with a sort of ache in my gut. And how is everyone's weight loss? In two weeks prior to surgery to now i have lost 25lbs. Though i am not quite sure where. My pants aren't as tight. And my weight seems to fluctuate a pound or two from day to day...normal water weight? Well i hope a few of you can chime in i would love to hear how others are doing at this 2 week post op time frame.

Congrats! Your date will be here before you know it! So for me the two week diet prior to surgery was tough...i felt like i wanted to have a big fat burger and fries because i knew it would be my last! Lol...i loved muscle milk..full of Protein and keeps you full...i bought a huge powder jug of Cookies and cream! Lol..so surgery was quick. The only pain i experienced was my left side. And i honestly felt good when i took my pain meds but it made me so tired. And i was always thirsty...when i woke up from surgery my throat felt like i had been screaming at a concert all night but it was bearable...and i felt super bloated....i had to ask my husband if my stomache always looked so puffy. It was like gas and cramps...all of which were not too bad because i was so excited. Wear comfy clothes! That seemed to help!

      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.
