Hi Everyone,

My surgery was scheduled for June 29. 2015 as well. I would love to keep up with each other's progress along the way.

Welcome! And congrats on your surgery! Hope you are recovering quickly!

I had the RNY... I'm am feeling well, but I'm taking it one day at a time. I'm almost two weeks out. However I did do too much one day and I was in so much pain. What procedure did you have?

I had RNY also. So far it's been pretty easy for me. The surgery was nothing. My cesareans were worse. Hardest part right now is going out and enjoying summer life without food being a part of it.

That's great. I know when I woke up in recovery my back was killing me. They said it was trapped gas and once it passes the pain in my back would go away. I got up and walked the same night I had surgery. I am sometimes really thirsty, but I just learned to consume more liquids. I am still getting use to the 30...30..30.

SCRAMBLED EGG DAY!! Woohoo!!!! I could only eat 1/3 of it but it tasted so good!!! Then my husband made me lentils with ground up chicken and that was amazing too. Anyone else try "new" foods this week? I'm learning that I actually do like healthy foods as long as they're flavorful.

I tried an egg but it was hard boiled so I mashed it to bits in my mouth. But it wasn't fantastic. My new thing is cutting potatoes into strips and baking them until they are mushy and it's like I'm eating fries!!! Yummy!! Mashed potatoes can get sooo boring.

It's so hard cutting out the carbs ! Potatoes Pasta and brown rice are my weakness. So far I've had a can of potato Soup that lasted 2 days and it was yummy. Since I am off purée and back to solid food again,

I need some recipes, what are you finding is a good Protein meal ? I'm a chicken girl & was told it's too dry for me now ( not a seafood person)

Also, yes I had gastric bypass :)

^ @@TeeNahh are you physically able to eat carbs? Or have you mainly cut them out to make room for Protein? I got stuck eating mashed potatoes somewhat regularly but have since stopped. I just wanted something warm that wasn't liquid.

I can eat them sadly, I had mac n cheese during my purée stage too and it wasn't an issue for me.

I'm trying to find yummy Protein to forget the carbs.

      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.
