August 4th was my surgery so 2 weeks out and I am done 15 pounds already. The hardest part for me so far was making sure I get my liquids in per day . After seeing the PA she made some suggestions and I am going to change my timing on my intact of food. Starting to miss work but now that I am feeling a little more productive maybe I can start getting a few more things done around the house without exceeding my weight restrictions.

Sounds like you're doing well, all things considered. It's always tough in the beginning but it does get easier. Take care! :)

I had my blood pressure taken today and now they want me to watch it. It was 98 over 56 today. They cut my medicine in half of one med and eliminated 2 other media. If my blood pressure stays that low they will take me off my last prescription. Yeah for me. Maybe by the time I am down half my goal weight they will let me get rid of my sleep apnea machine.

I'm 2 weeks post op also. 20 lbs down, off of all meds for blood pressure, diabetes, and cholesterol. I hope to get off of the CPAP machine by October. I'm excited and I'm glad that we're all doing well, despite small challenges!

Let's do this!!!

      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.
