I had my gastric bypass on March 12,2015 and it's been good but it wasn't easy because of the new change, new eating habits and trying to stay hydrated! I tried having the Protein Shake and it made me nauseous, they're days when I'm good and days when I feel weak but lately I have gotten a lot of energy and I exercise frequently now but I know God is helping me and he guides me threw this

That's awesome you're doing better! I had bypass on 5/27 and Protein shakes and Water have been an issue for me. Instead of getting overly frustrated I decided to just do what I can so I mix my pre made shakes with some ice and hazelnut flavoring and I found a 15 calorie lemonade drink made by minute made that I mix with ice and just drink that as my liquid intake. I know it's not exactly what the plan says but it beats nothing at all which is what I was taking in at first lol.

I'm like you, I know God is helping me through this so even when things seem a little uneasy I'm not bothered by it because I know what the end result is...blessings to you!

      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.
