I will be three months out in two days. I have not been away overnight yet, but will shortly be traveling (overnight) to rescue Mrs. LittleBill from a small tribe of midgets - a.k.a. the little monsters. She has been babysitting grandchildren for a week, and while she has had the time of her life, she is running out of steam. It will be interesting to see how it goes, as I will have to pack lots of food that I can eat to take with me. Fast food ain't in it for me.

My partner and I are heading back to the USA tomorrow after a 3.5 week tour of Southeast Asia. My surgery was September 28, so I wasn't quite 3 months post-op when we left on December 19. I have been fine. I have had a little trouble eating over here (everything sits really heavy for some reason), and some of my go-to options like string cheese and cottage cheese just aren't really available where we have been. Our second hotel room (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) randomly had a scale in the bathroom, and I saw that I lost 10 pounds in the first 10 days we were gone. I haven't been able to weigh since then (about 2 weeks ago), but clothes I brought with me are too big now, so I know I have lost more since then.

I have focused the trip on the experience outside of eating and food. It's all about the decisions you make with what you have to work with. Go, enjoy, and have a good time!!

      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.
