Hi, I had my surgery on 9/2 and would love to compare, feel free to message me.

hi well I'm feeling good. I'm eating solids but not really. Lol grill steak n chicken n I end up shredding it n eating just that a few times a day. I still do one shake a day. Propel Water and regular water . I been trying to walk more but my left side hurts a lot after words for a few days. Also when I walk or stand for a long period of time maybe 30+ minutes my shoulders start feeling supper heavy and I need to sit down for a while . Lost 24 pounds the first 2 weeks n I can't wait to see how much more next week when I go to the doctors ;)

      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.
