welp here we go. hehe Man i was afraid to put myself in a position of not being able to Eat A 16 oz. steak or a half a cherry pie. But ya know so far Ive made it. The first two weeks per op were the hardest I think Being able to eat and not actually doing it was tough. Now that I cant eat its not so bad. Im comming up on my soft food period and if anyone has any help as to what to eat thats actually good I would love to have the info. Im looking forward to maybe a piece of fish but can not seem to find real good fresh fish. Im from the pacific northwest (peugot sound near seattle) so im very used to running down and grabbing a piece of salmon or even catching it. Out of season there is always hallibut or other white fish or shell fish to eat. Here In central Illinois i seem to only be able to find Catfish or Previously frozen seafood that already has a strong fishy odor. Help in this area as well as some nice ways to cook fish without frying it would be awsome.

Well i can go on forever as I am pretty excited. Especially talking about food. Ohhhh ya, dont get me started talking bout food as I truely am a real food buff. hehe

Welp ill check back later and see whats going on. Good luck to ya ll.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
