Hi Lala. My surgery was 6 days ago. My incisions are still pretty sore but otherwise I'm feeling better. I'm fighting the daemons in my head that want ice cream.

What did you mix your shake with? From what I understand a lot of people have an aversion to milk after the surgery. I was sleeves on the 25th and I've been using Isopure drinks to get in my protein.

For those having new issues with milk... I was lactose intolerant before surgery & lactaid milk is a great choice. It has everything milk has, without the pain and discomfort! Good luck!

I am 12 days out and I want a pickle so bad! I don't know why, maybe because my post op diet has so much sweet with the shakes, Jello, drinks, and such. Not to mention everything is soft & I guess I am missing chewing. I want a pickle or even a few olives lol! I know it's all in my head & I'm glad I'm not craving something really bad but still. In two days I can start on phase two. Maybe when I can have baked fish and soft vegetables that will get rid of that craving!

and I would love a pickle right now!!

Lol! Glad I'm not the only one with a pickle craving! Almond milk is delicious, but I chose Lactaid because it has more Protein.

      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.
