I know what you mean. I'm in pre-op liquids mostly and I stay on here or on Pinterest looking at the bariatric recipes! When you try something that is good, please send us a post. You can be our Guinnea Pig. LOL

My surgery is scheduled for November 17th, two weeks from today. Man, that sounds scarry! LOL Nice to meet you too. I am going out on a limb and assume that is your daughter in the pic with you. She is a beautiful little girl and you "marked" her well because she looks just like you.

Well wishes for your upcoming surgery!!! It's a tough journey, with lots of up and downs, but so worth it. Just remember to roll with the punches babe...there's plenty of them! But you'll be fine!

Yes, that's my daughter :) thank you so much!! she's the baby of 4 and only girl. That photo was at Christmas 2 years ago...shes 15 now and a sophomore in highschool

:( yes, she resembles me quite a bit, fortunately she didn't get my side of the family genes where her figure is concerned. I wasnt heavy as a child/teenager/young adult either, but I was definitely "curvy" and I always knew I'd have trouble if I didn't watch. She takes after my husbands mother. She's very dainty and petite in every way. I love that she'll never have to worry about obesity.

That's exactly how I feel! Physically, I'm not hungry, but I don't feel well. I feel malnourished and I feel like my body is screaming "EAT SOMETHING, I'M SLOWLY DYING!" This full liquids phase has been really hard on me, after spending 2 weeks pre op on basically the same diet. I'm ready for some real food, even if it's baby food texture.

Yep! I also had the runs for 3 days & that certainly didn't help! I was in my post-op for 3+ weeks because insurance took so long. Good news is I'm down 10.5 in 6 days and 25.5 overall ????

I just past the liquid phase! Let me tell you that Beans have never tasted so good in my entire life lol. I added all kinds of spices. Then after two baby spoon size bites the thrill was over because I was full. :( It was the shortes in heaven experience ever. LOL good luck with the soft phase.

@@Jake B. LOL! Your reply made me giggle out loud..I can totally see food being anti-climactic now...forever. It's kinda sad cause MAN! I LOVE FOOD! I love cooking it and I love eating it, but I'm so excited to know I'm on my way to a LONGER healthier life. (I can't help that I'm still gonna miss food...)

This is so funny, I was thinking the same thing today! LOL I made DD a grilled cheese sandwich for lunch today and she only ate half. Boy, was I eyeing the uneaten half!!! I have my 1 week follow up tomorrow so I'm hoping to be able to start full liquids tomorrow or Wednesday. I am going to devour some Cream of Wheat!!! LOL

      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.
