Glad to know things are progressing well. How much walking are you getting in on a daily basis? Did your doctor leave in a drain? I'm so glad that you are posting updates. Thank you!

hi cute. There's no drain. Is there supposed to be??-

I'm walking a lot. Even just in my house at times I'll get up and walk around. I feel great today. Like normal ish. Not hungry at all. I think I'm happy today because I walked by dog. Put on make up. Wiped down my car. Now I'm going for a drive. It helps to get out of the house and not just be thinking about ounces to drink and walking and all that shot 24/7. Lol. That being said I have my Water and Protein shake in the car. Lol

I went out to eat with the family! I had Tomato basil Soup with sour cream and hot chocolate. It was great!. Only needed a few bites and few sips. Totally wonderful. Take the rest home

Bit of a set back today. I was very active yesterday plus I might've had too many acidic things so my tummy hurts and I feel fast and tired. I might've over done in.

Going back to basic diet. On a good note still losing a pound a day lol.

I'm doing ok. Thank you. Little gassy and tired but ok. I find that you have to stay on the prescribed diet to the letter or you won't feel good. So that's what I'm doing

Still losing a pound a day so that's good

I agree with sticking to the plan. I was sleeved a week ago tonight (10/7).

I am on day 3 of 10 of an "all liquid" plan (after 4 days of "clear only" liquids).

I feel good. My stomach makes weird noises at times, but I am in little pain except for a couple of incision spots.

I can drink 2-3 oz. comfortably. I have had a bowel movement which helped.

Today I have to get some blood drawn (labs) before my 1 week out appointment with my surgeon on Friday.

I have been weighing my self every couple of days and I am down from 196.x on surgery day to 187.x this morning, so should be hitting 10 lbs down tomorrow.

Keep up the good work.

Today I wanted a steak. I know I can't but I wanted it lol

Tomorrow we're having a going away party for my boss at an amazing place I could never afford on my own but.....i can't eat lol

Oh well. food isn't disappearing off the planet. This liquid diet is temporary. Though I will say I hope to be put on the mushy diet tomorrow. I have my post op appnt tomorrow. Some refried Beans with pureed beef would be divine lol

Week one loss: 7lbs

I have not gone back to work yet, but I know it is a matter of time before I am tempted. It has been safe inside my house, but I did have to cook dinner for my family yesterday - whole wheat spaghetti with ground turkey and shredded zucchini. I somehow survived it. I did put a cup of it in the freezer for the future.

Stay strong. I have 7 days to get through before soft foods. We can do this.

. Nice job. Cooking for the family is hard. Going to work/being in social situations is tough as well. I'm hoping they tell me tomorrow I can go soft food or pureed or something lol. It's day eight.

      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.
