I'm not doing well on stage 2 foods right now. I have only been able to drink a little Protein Shake and some Water most of the day. I have been stressed and devastated since Friday when I lost my mother during open heart surgery. I know she would yell at me for not trying to eat like I'm supposed to so I'm going to try to do better tomorrow.

Oh my I am so sorry for your loss. Keep moving forward! Your mother wouldn't want it any other way! God has a plan for us all. Your life is just beginning don't hault it! again I am very sorry.

Hi Amy,

Sorry to hear the passing of your mother, sadly we go through seasons of life but it will pass in time. However I admire your spirit that you will try again tomorrow. You can do this!

Amy I am sorry for your loss.

Don't know if any of you on here are also on Facebook. There is a closed group on facebook called BariBuddies that started from the people on this board if you'd like to join. It's a little easier to navigate. Look for the picture of the girl with the open arms.

I like staying in touch but this board seems hard to keep up with.

Woke up feeling great. Thought I would be able to get things done today. By noon I was gripping my tummy and I had only taken a nap. I hate when I get tricked like that. I mean I felt like me. The old me! I have lost 23 pounds in 2 weeks. 9 pounds since surgery. Really happy about this choice even with the pain.

@@Amy Carter I'm truly sorry for your loss. It's never easy losing someone so close. My prayers are with you and your family.

Try cream Soups. Me and Protein shakes have not been getting along either. They make me nauseous.

Has anyone experienced the Hair loss? If you have, were you able to eat right? If you haven't, what were you doing? Just trying to make sure I keep most of mine. I barely have any anyway!

No hair loss at two weeks post opt. I don't know that I get enough Protein, but I take an awesome Multivitamin that is super packed with Biotin and some zinc, my surgeon said it will help with hair loss.

I had Hair loss prior to the surgery and of course it continues today. I take Biotin 5000 that I picked up from Walmart. I believe the bottle was around 7.00. I do have hair growing back in.

I'm officially on stage 3 foods!!!! I'm down 12 pounds since surgery. I'm happy and my doctor is very happy. I go back in a month instead of in 2 weeks like most of his patients. I think I'll try scrambled eggs for Breakfast.< /p>

      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.
