I turn 50 in March so decided to go ahead and join this group. I'm a month out after surgery and I can hardly eat or drink. How much are most of you eating? Thanks for the help!

Congratulations on your surgery, and welcome to the group.

I'm also new here and just learning, so I don't have an answer. Just wanted to say Hello!

So far looking like Dr. Illan. I haven't made a final decision yet. His office has offered me my surgery date and I'll know by this time tomorrow what I'm going to do.

How was Dr. Alvarez? How are you feeling a week out? Still on Clear liquids?

I'm almost 4 weeks out on soft food stage. I had to go to Mexico cause my insurance didn't cover. Had to do a lot of research. Everyone calls him Dr. A. He is one of the top Bariatric doctors in the world. It was a great experience. But know that I'm eating more substance I feel like a have something caught in my chest a lot. I'm trying to figure out if I'm eating to fast or to much or what. No one answered here so I guess I will email my Dr. I've lost 20 pounds since surgery. No predict cause my BMI was not quit 32. It's not super easy but it's worth it. A lot of the problems are in our heads. It's an adjustment.

I'll be 50 in may. I am just over a month post-op and I've lost 25 lbs. It's been a good experience so far. I'm eating about 1/2 to 3/4 cup , 4 or 5 times a day. Still on soft foods ... that feels safe right now. Great to see all the rest of you 'almost 50's'

I was sleeved aged 59 in Glasgow, August 2016 and have lost 50 lbs. I'm a slow loser and am struggling to quit wine! I get that choked feeling when I eat too fast and that can lead to eating beyond full which is uncomfortable. I also think my metabolism is out having yoyo dieted for too many years! Good luck x

      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?

      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.
