I have heard about people using coconut oil but did not know how I would react so I am also curious how we would use it.

I also have a bunch of do terra I'd like to use to if anybody has any suggestions on how to use it with our new diet and lifestyle.

@@Cutwater I also cook with coconut oil. I was advised that after surgery I should limit how much I use. My nutritionist doesn't want me to have more than 10g of fat per meal.

I use coconut oil all the time and have had no issues with it. I use olive oil for cold purposes and coconut for hot cooking. I am almost 6 months out and I have only had one stall that lasted 4 weeks, besides that I average 4 lbs a week weight loss and so the use of these oils has not hurt anything for me. Your body will tell you if you can tolerate it.

I'm 19 months out and I love coconut oil! I use a little it to pop my evening popcorn it gives it a really good flavor. Just keep it in moderation, as with any fats, and you should be fine.

      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.
