Ugh...super super super bad day...work was horrible...hurting tonight. ..not getting my Protein and Water in. Scared to death I am going to end up malnourished and dehydrated. Hormones all over the place...could cry on command...just needed to vent...love you guys...going to bed

I'm having a bad day today too!! Didn''t get enough water & protein in yesterday, so headache & no energy today! Trying to make up for it today but it isn't easy! Sending you hugs & hopefully tomorrow will be better!
I had my first headache today. It was horrible. Hope you feel better.

I'm having a rough time with this post op liquid diet. On top of me being nauseous all the time nothing that I can have sounds appealing so I sometimes just don't eat, which I know is wrong. I am getting all my Water in and taking all my Vitamins. I'm basically just counting down the days until puréed foods. Sigh.

I'm also having extreme problems getting sips in. Feels so tight and causes LOUD tummy and intestine rumbles. Thank goodness I don't have to be in public.

Also scared of being undernourished and dehydrated.

Luckily all of you do better each day.

Hey y'all. I'm home and doing okay. Sore and gassy, but alive and well. I'm happy.

I'm off my diabetic meds and my blood pressure meds. If everything stays as it is now, I'll stay off of them. Going back for my follow up on Nov. 9th.

Hey everyone I had my 3 week follow up today, my surgeon was so happy with my numbers today. I have lost 20 pounds since my surgery date and finally had my staples removed (ouch). Incision sites are a little sore but he says I'm healing beautifully. I was bummed out when I seen I had only lost 20 pounds but seeing how happy the surgeon was made me rethink my mentality. My husband says I'm too hard on myself. Maybe I am. All I know is I'm happy if the surgeon is happy. Only bad part about the appt was I'm still in the liquid phase for another 2 weeks but after today I know if I can do it for 3 weeks, I can do another 2.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful day, and for anyone who had a follow up today I hope it was great!

I had RNY on 10/20, and I was hoping my belly swelling would have been better by now. I'm passing gas okay, but I look like I'm 6 months pregnant. LOL. I have my 2-week follow up next Weds. Is it common to still look bloated?

Just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone for the sweet comments. It was a much better day today. I was able to get in almost 40 ounces of Water and 42 grams of Protein . I know this is still not goal but it is soooo much better then I have been doing! The encouragement from this group helps me each and every day!

      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.
