Hi All! It's been a busy couple of days. Yesterday was my first day back to work, and it went great. I got all my walking in at work and started to get back into my normal. I'm feeling great right now. I'm noticing that I'm slimming down already, and the food is getting a lot easier for me to accept. All of my incisions are itching, so I'm taking that as a good thing! I'm behind on all of my school work, so that is a little stressful, but I know I will catch up, especially if I still want to graduate in November. Have a great day!

Oh hon, take it easy. :) I'm sure your stomach is healing nicely now too to be able to add those foods in the future.

Besides the school work part, you described me. Ha! I'm glad you had a good day at work too. Feels nice to have a routine again, eh? Or is that just me? maybe cause I've got three kids too. lol

Um...not sure and I don't think it is...but I'm having terrible gas these past two days. It was happening before I ate my Beans last night, so I don't believe that is the culprit. I haven't had a BM since Mon or Tues, so I'm wondering if maybe its the start of Constipation. If I don't have one today, I'll start some benefiber or Miralax. Ugh....don't want to take anything else, but will if I have too.

I am also not regular yet. I had one BM the day before I got home and nothing since. I started taking 2 dulcolax per day on Tuesday, but still nothing. I tried to take MOM, but it made me nauseous. I think I am going to buy some miralax today. I hope things start moving for you.

Yeah, MOM makes me gag, it's so gross. After I had posted, it moved a little. I went a little. Still feel like there is more to do, but nothing.

So glad work went well for you. Believe it or not I am looking forward to going back to work on Tuesday. I am feeling mostly great too.

My daughter is working and going to school also so I know how hard that can be. Good for you for managing it all!

I keep googling recipes for puréed foods..lol.. and also for ideas on healthy foods to replace my favorites that I really shouldn't eat anymore.

I love crackers and I found a recipe to make cheese crackers with just sliced cheese.

@mishyk I love your profile pic. You are beautiful ☺️

It is so amazing how we seem to love the same things. I am so in awe.

Mistake: I'm hungry. I came to work with no food, just Protein Drinks. They're not satisfying me at all. I really think my metabolism has reset!!! YAY! Now, I've learned my lesson....bring a cheese stick. LOL

This a good warning for me to be prepared when I go back to work. food prep is going to be essential to staying mostly on plan.

what did you do? I think I would have made a wawa run and got some Soup or yogurt.

      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.
