Checking in to see how everyone is feeling!!!





I am actually feeling pretty good Thank God. No pain just a little soreness I'm my stomach when I move a certain way. I started Protein Drinks yesterday and was able to get down almost 2 of them. I get the rumbles in my stomach but that's normal for me before surgery.

How are you??

Feeling good. My one incision site is sore. But other than that I am up and about. Right now I am on Clear Liquids. Monday I can start adding Protein back into my diet.

I feel really good as well. I had no pain, nausea or vomiting two days out. Today some soreness but nothing I can't handle. Walking helps keep everything moving and flowing so I don't get stiff.

      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.
