Hi gang! I'm 10 days post op. I must admit out loud to you all that I want to look good in clothes again. It's not my only objective, but...well. So yesterday I got the results of some of the testing docs do after our surgeries, etc. I have stage 3 kidney disease and damn if my numbers aren't getting better! This news, these numbers opposed to scale numbers, have given me more hope for a happy life then I imagined I would ever have. I come from healthy stock, and most of my life my cholesterol, bp and all of the health numbers were good, actually better than good- low. I just took this for granted so imagine my dismay the first time these numbers started to rise. I didn't pay attention until my doc said the horrible words, "stage 3 kidney disease" From this point, I just figured I could only stop the progress of many of my health issues but never return to a place where I could mark, "health-good" on fitness surveys. I have this little ray of light on my heart that says, "sister you can repair the damage you've done to your dear body to the extent you can mark "good" on those surveys. So yee-haw! thank you God for your ever present care and concern for little ol' me. Blessings guys! Nancy K.

Hi guys! I'm 4 weeks out and have lost 19 lbs! I'm thrilled with my progress, and it's funny because I can't even imagine how hard it would be to eat more than 700 or so calories per day. I've gone out a few times with family or friends for dinner and am not having trouble either not eating or eating plain food. I know it's easier at first...tends to be the long haul where things get tricky...Good luck all and God Bless! Nancy K.

      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.
