2 months out. Did good, but it was at my sisters so think it was easier on me. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. @@ppressey24, hope your recovery is quick, so sorry to hear that you are in the hospital.

Update on my meal from yesterday. Was on a steady loose stage. Losing .5 a pound a day since my stall broke. Now since I ate some carbs yesterday, I gained a half a pound. :(

Wasn't worth it. Hope I am not going to stall again. I was going strong. Anyway, what's done is done. Keep on truckin

Im also 8wks out but i spent today in the hospital. Ive done great thus far but have had alot of problems with my bowels. They found out that i have adhedsions that have wrapped around a large part of my bowel making it very difficult for me to have a bowel movement. 8wks out only 3 movements so you can imagine how i feel. I cant get all my fluids down or Protein because i always feel full and bloated. So to the operating room at 730am. Hopefully this will make me feel much better. I wish i couldve had some thanksgiving dinner with my family. Even if it was just an ounce of potatoes. Enjoy the weekend guys and ill update you all tomorrow. Keep me in your prayers

Just wanted to luk that i made out today great. Im in alot of pain but the dr said that there was alot of scar tissue and they were everywhere. But they removed them and he said that since ive had alot of surgeries so they may grow back. But he told me that do not wait around and get to this point again where i cant have a bowel movement. Any signs and theyll need to go back in. This wasnt the roughest time. 3yrs ago, i didnt go for about 2 months. And i was rushed to the er in so much pain because i was impacted and they literally had to go get it. I thought having this surgery would hell relieve that but not. He said with the different test theyve done on my digestive system, its just extremely slow. When yku eat something it should take 90 minutes to get to the part of the stomach to digest. Well, mine took 6hrs. So hopefully between my sleeve and this procedure, ill be back and running....thank you

Last year on Thanksgiving, I was pre-surgery, so I was super careful about not eating much since I was determined to lose the required 5% of my body weight--and I was fine and super motivated. This year I'm 7 months out from surgery and it's become a normal thing to eat a very small amount. So..I had a bit of turkey and a bit of ham (less than 4 oz total), and I was satisfied and could concentrate on the social aspect of talking with my kids and grandkids. It's so helpful to host Thanksgiving and have a huge family! They all know about the surgery, all are a normal weight, and they help me have the right attitude about food (eat to live, not live to eat). I'm incredibly blessed. It was a good day!

Why don't you go to a resterant and pick up plastic stuff or even the store. Unless you want them to look like regular slverware.

      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.

      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.
