Day seven for me also and I went for my real first walk alone. I will say I felt a little light-headed but took it slowly and made it back home safe and sound.

I will add that yesterday was the first time for "real food" for me. I made a Butternut Squash Soup from a recipe I found on here. My plan was to make it for when I was ready. I couldn't resist. I'm happy to say I was able to eat it, a half ladle at a time and with a baby spoon. It was so delicious! And I felt so much better after getting something other than Protein drinks.

7 days for me too. Going to go for a walk later after my sister gets home. Still don't feel up to going by myself. Feel really weak, don't want to chance on my own yet. Hoping to have Soup tonight. Still trying to get in enough fluids

Getting through fluids really is getting to me I know it's a short time when you think about it but I can't stomach another bowl of broth ... or Jello... I will say I did have an 1oz of Greek yogurt with a few tablespoons of Water to make it looser and it was really good .... couldn't wait for tomorrow.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
