I have been on this site for four years now, I am almost 4 years post op and I am in the maintenance phase. This site served as a huge resource of knowledge in the pre-op phase, a motivator and support system in the post op phase and now I am here to try and help others on their weight loss journey! I have only seen a few people from Texas and only a few in the Houston area! :)

I used to live in Austin, does that count. lol. I was just wondering how you stayed on track all these years. I am 6 1/2 months out, had total knee surgery, and with all the pin and nausea found myself straying from the rules. I am now trying to get back on track, but feel bored with the same old food. Carbs, not sweets, crackers, bread, tortillas, mostly are my downfall. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. You can message me directly at sbg224, thanks, and good for you

      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.
