Glad it went smoothly for you! What you just described pretty much sums up my experience as well. I did walk a lot in the hospital but I am finding it more difficult today with it being my first day home. Wishing and hoping that the gas pains go away for the both of us! Good luck!

The past 2 days I've finally been able to keep food down! Slowly getting better. The doc said I needed to eat "real" foods, but they kept making me puke...so I was on liquids for longer than normal. Yesterday I had solid food, and it was amazing..just the actual chewing part is what I missed lol also- down a total of 44

Lbs since surgery which was 2/2

I am on full Soups. Any and all ingredients. It's liberating to have some variety in what I can eat. Idk. solid food is challenging to me. It's uncomfortable so I actually choose liquids sometimes. I am excited that my sweet tooth has not returned. I crave salt. I'm excited overall.

Today has been an off day. Haven't been able to keep anything down. Only thing I have ate is the Protein and less than half an egg which is weird since I can always finish the egg. Anyone has days like this?

Since it's a secret group there is some hoops to go through to get added (sorry, Facebook makes it harder) The good thing is that it's completely secret meaning none of your friends can know see posts or ever know you're in it  This makes it a safe place for us because I know for some it's not something they want to share. Here's how to join:

1. Go to https://www.facebook.com/lanaepetersen and send me a friend request

2. I will accept the friend request, then send you an invite to the group.

3. After you are added to the group I'll unfriend

      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.
