On post op day two. Came home from the hospital last night. Today woke up a little more sore but I also haven't taken any of my pain pills. Walking helps with pain.

The weirdest part is being hungry but not really. I guess this is the head hunger everyone talks about. I couldn't imagine eating right now but when my fiancé eats around me I'm definitely eyeing it haha

@@Angmw82 I know what you mean. Try and explore different ones now because it's even harder to get them in after. I'm really struggling with them now. I loved the Premier Protein before surgery. Now they taste WAY too sweet so I'm switching back to the powders

I'm on day one of my ten day pre op diet, and this is waaaaaay harder than I expected. I'm following the rules so my Protein has me full but my mind is on a constant loop of all foods that I love to eat. At this point it's definitely quite a task to keep my mind on the right track. Any advice??

Keeping myself busy helps a lot! I keep reminding my self that my mental obsession with food is what got me to 306.4 pounds. So I have to break away from old habits.

Day 11 on pre diet. Feeling very light headed and weak. But continuing with the diet, I have lost 14llb in 11 days so I'm happy with that. I had a mental break down last week asking myself why am I doing this, got through that and have been happy, today I am back tired and asking what am I doing? are anyone else thinking this aswell?

Yes I am having mine with Dr Sufi at the Whittington in archway London. Ahh you are friday how amazing are you scared? How do you find your pre op diet shakes? I have the asda Meal Replacement vanilla and chocolate I prefer vanilla though one they taste like ice cream because I put ice in it just 2 cubes and blitz it in my nutribullet. Ahhh nearly there how much have you lost?

      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.
