Congrats! Sorry to hear about the reflux. Do you have meds?

I'm taking Protonix, I think that's how it's spelled. I need to be proactive and take it daily to get all of the acid out. I was trying to wean myself off of meds.

I am feeling great, 11 pounds down. It seems unreal.

Congratulations. I am 14 days post-op, and lost 8 lbs . But I haven't lost anymore in 5 days. Very frustrated. Especially when i am only getting to have full liquids & 4 ozs at a time.

15 days post-op. I had to go a few places today, and my lower left abdomen really hurt. I am returning to work this Friday. Hope you start feeling better soon.

Im 11 days post op ( bypass) and I've lost 15 lbs. Its so strange looking at the scales and seeing the number.

Ive fasted many times before this surgery...but usually not lost any weight at all.

Im not feeling well though...had a rough patch with pain and dumping that has set me back strength wise.

Congratulations! It is weird to watch the scale. I'm 12 days out now and 19 lbs down. I've of course dieter in the past, but never lost this much this quick. I am exausted today, I'm not sure I'm getting enough Protein. I'm going to be better tomorrow.

      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.
