Yesterday was my 2 week anniversary. From the day I left hospital until now 14lbs, all of that was in the first 8or 9 days. Starting purees today and have my post-op appt with doctor. I'm going to contact my dietician for some guidance on how often I should be eating. Had some soft boiled egg with mustard this morning and it was amazing! I could only eat about 1/2.

Omg, boiled eggs sounds so good right now, I'm hoping I'll be cleared for that soon. I'm already so sick of shakes

Monday was my 2 week post op anniversary and I was down 9 pounds since day of surgery. Still feeling very weak and not able to walk much. I talked to the nutritionist today she said she thinks I'm not getting enough calories- she said to go for about 700. I've been averaging 485 or so but getting all my Protein. I'm so tired of not being strong enough to do anything but go to the grocery store.

I'm in the same boat. My NUT said to take it easy till cleared for more food and exercise. Let me know if upping you calories helps. It's very frustrating.

I met with my surgeon today. He is very satisfied with the results. I did not meet with the dietician today, (have an appt on 6/20) but his post-op nurse recommended purees like cottage cheese, eggs, chicken blended up with some low fat mayo or mustard to make it easier to go down. Since I won't be able to get in all the Protein from food yet they recommended staying on Protein Shakes in between meals. They said to exercise as much as I can tolerate. Surgeon did recommend not to force food, if I am having a hard time with a specific food he said to pull back and go to full liquids. He doesn't think forcing food and being in pain is worth it. Sometimes we just need more time to progress to the next stage. Hope that helps!!

      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.
