Hello My June 14th Friends.

Here is my update. Other then being tired all the time, everything is going well. I'm in step 3 of my diet plan as of Saturday. All I can say about food is that I'm thankful for more food options. Does anyone else feel like a baby trying food for the first time? I find it interesting that I have to eat something and do the wait and see game to see how my body handles it.

Since surgery, I have lost 18 ponds. The last few days, my weight has stayed the same. I figured between all the weight I lost pre and post surgery (47 in all over since last May) my body needed a chance to adjust to all the changes.

I hope everyone is doing well.

Please update the group with your progress when you get a chance.

hi. congrats. my surgery was the 9th. i've lost 32 pounds (including pre op diet and post op). i hit my first plateau last week (3rd week post op) and it lasted a week, and i've lost two pounds since then. i have heard a little plateau is common 3rd week, so just keep faith in the process if you hit one soon. i like trying different foods now to see if my body can handle it. so far so good. still not up to 60 g Protein a day yet. can get about 40 balancing Fluid needs and how full am with 1 oz meat or cheese for protein meals.

Hi guys! I have been on soft foods since week 2. I feel pretty good. I lost 18 pounds since surgery but last week the scale did seem to be stuck. I left Friday for a trip to California. So far it's been ok. A little hard to get Water in. I have been staying with my sister in law but tonight we check into a hotel for the 4th. I'm pretty nervous about food. I did bring some lentils from home to eat but not sure if the hotel has a microwave available. Oh well, cottage cheese and yogurt will keep in the fridge, right.

      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.
