Sleeved on Sept 3rd. Started my journey on May 1st. Since my consultation i have lost 97 lbs. I took the warning that my doctor gave me to lose weight before surgery very seriously. He said that it would make the surgery and healing easier. Im at 6 weeks post of and feel great physically. Metally, eh, could be better. We were all fat for the most part because we liked to eat. Now i do not like eating at all. It has become a job and it makes me sad. Everyone says it will get better so I keep that in mind(all the time). Dont get me wrong, the weight loss and the ability to move again is Tremendous and i would never want to go back to where is was. I do miss enjoying food though.

where from in NY?

Surgery: 9/14

I'm doing ok but wish I was doing better.

The weightloss is fine, I'm down 25 lbs in total (before and after surgery) I think 15 lbs since surgery.

I can't seem to go number 2 unless I take milk of magnesia. They gave me colase but it doesn't do anything.

I can't get in enough Water and I really try but unless all I do is sip Water when I'm not eating I don't know how to do it.

I can't get in enough Protein because I really really don't want to have shakes.

I had to stop taking the Multivitamin i ordered for after surgery because it made me nearly vomit.

Other than that I'm doing ok with food and on and off with energy.

I was against shakes, because mine were horrible in the past. I found chocolate AMP at GNC and it is pretty good. My dad said it tasted like chocolate milk. It's the only way I feel like I'm getting enough Protein.< /p>

I just found this Protein powder which is tasteless and you can add it to almost everything and the best part of it all is that it is 30 grams of Protein per 1 tablespoon. maybe this is something that could be good for you to get your protein in. it's called Musclegen Research GENEPRO Protein Powder and i picked it up at Amazon.com

@@RobinGee I am using the MDPatch vitamins! Have you tried them? They are very comfortable and I hear they are working great with getting the levels up as shown in blood tests.

      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.
