Yikes, Two bites of a Frosty, and it hit! Learned a lesson there!

All in all..my story..

Low BMI (30)

Mexico self pay Feb 14, 2015 (Valentines Day)

It's been 3 1/2 months, and a learning curve.

Acid Reflux, a couple of bouts with foamies, Constipation, gurgling stomach, puking air... 45 pounds down and a size 6.

:D Worth it!

@@kcmu5411 If you eat too fast or eat something really dense (like steak) and forget to chew it, you will know. You start feeling slime and foam creeping up and into your mouth. The more you swallow, the more it comes up. I usually fight it for about 15 minutes and then wind up vomiting the slime and what I ate. This is what happens with me and it could be different for you and others. It always makes you remember to CHEW and EAT SLOW! :)

      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.
