Praise God, I am finally tolerating more. I SUCK at measuring and counting calories...but I do still try my best to reach my daily Protein, even if I have to use a shake. It's amazing what happens in just a few short weeks. I went from struggling to getting 2 ozs in, to eating a small meal, just as they said I would get to.

My plan included soft meats by week 4. That chewing slowing is key...but I've noticed each week, getting meals down has gotten easier and easier...even meats.< /p>

Looking forward to getting all of my Protein from meals!!!

According to my packet of instructions, on this Tuesday at 6 weeks, I will hit maintenance. I'm still losing, but the big drop has moved to about 1-2 lbs a week, which is fine by me. That week 3-4 stall had me down, but glad to see the scale moving. Still so grateful to God for this opportunity to get right and fit after years of trying. This was definitely in His will for my life at this time!

@@lachellove I'm 12 days post op. I'm handling food pretty well. I too have a hard time chewing slow. My hardest thing right now is not being able to drink a lot at once. I live in Phoenix & it's so hot that I'm constantly thirsty. I try to chew on ice but I would just like to drink a whole bottle of cold Water at once lol as far as pain, I'm doing well, really just one of my incisions hurts occasionally. The whole emotional thing had been the hardest for me.

@@lachellove it's silly, like I'll start feeling down for no reason. Then I'll be excited for the future. It goes back and forth. I feel like there's more to it then just the surgery itself, I am staying with my parents because I have a 16 month old and I can't lift him for 6 weeks. So I'm not recovering at home. My parents are awesome but I miss home & my hubby. So I'm sure that plays a lot into it. Plus, it's hard to feel so restricted sometimes & eat the same stuff. However, this week should be easier as I can add yogurt, cottage cheese and scramble eggs.< /p>

hello my sisters in Christ; please pray that I can be patient and that God will see to it that THIS SURGERY will be approved for me to have. I know it is in Gods will that that this could only happen for me. I am just starting this journey and hope to be ready set and go by Jan . I hope all goes well. I couldn't have sped this up at all since Insurance is requiring the wait of time. Has anyone else had to wait too? Bless you all

I had a year long monitored diet before all the stuff. Most don't have that. I got through it. :)

I believe ALL Insurance carriers require U to wait and try other weight loss methods before approving surgery but BY THE GRACE OF GOD WHO IS IN CONTROL OF ALL THINGS U SHALL BE APPROVED, HEALTHY & HEALED!

Wooooow......I have been on this site for a while and I just found this group. I too am a Christian and grew up believing that I should include God in every decision I make. I prayed for this and asked God if it's not for me give me a sign. Well since I started this journey everything has been smooth sailing. After finishing my requirements I was approved by my insurance the same day it was submitted. My surgery is set for December 10. I know that was nobody but God. I thank him for his constant presence in my life. I love that this forum exist especially for believers. God bless everyone in their journey ????????.

      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.
