So I am now 9 days post op, 25 lbs down! I feel amazing! I meet my surgeon yesterday and I am healing well, I do have some bruising however. I watch my 4 1/2 month old, 20lb son, all day and have no issues lifting/playing with him. I am now on a purée diet. My wife made turkey chili and I purée'd that last night. Was able to get 2 tbsp down(with cheese and tapitio) OMG, my whole body changed after eating! I have been so tired and lethargic and I never thought 2 tbsp of food could give me so much energy! It's funny because I'm using my sons spoons to eat, he's not using them yet! Lol. I still have some gas but have taken a small, strained, BM the last 3 days. The two things I forgot to ask my surgeon were: coffee intake soon? And should I be using Fiber? Anyways, sorry my story is all over the place, new to blogging. I'll keep you all updated! post-286891-14575409588058_thumb.jpg

Your son is adorable! I am 4 days post op and using my son's baby spoons as well! (He is 9, so he certainly doesn't need them.). From what I've read Fiber like Metamucil is a no no for at least 2 months. I think I've read 6 weeks for coffee, but I'm sure each team is a little different. Best of luck to 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.
