That's good you are down 20 lbs already! What have been your bumps if you don't mind me asking. I'm going thru a little something I consider kind of an issue right now and I would like to know your experience and how you got thru it so far. (I'm 25 and 5 days post op from the bypass btw.)

Well it started with a thrush infection on my tongue. then one of my incisions got infected two weeks out of surgery and now ov found what one of the surgeons I work with told me was a superficial thrombosed vein where I had my IV from the hospital..he said it would go away after time. For the past couple days dinner has been and issue for me. I have two small bites of Water and have to stop because I get sick and need to throw it up.

I'm sorry to hear about those unfortunately experiences. I guess mine is minute compared to yours. Water also makes me feel weird like it makes extra air in my stomach. Nothing else does it but Water what advise has your doctor given you to cope with this?

I'm sorry I meant food. I see my dietician on the 14th. and will ask her about the food but I think I'm going to stay on the soft foods for another couple of days.

      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.
