Congrats Blev! Being 3 weeks out, can you give some of us who have surgeries coming up in July a couple of things you did to make the first couple of weeks go smoothly?

I would love to, I started out my surgery weight was 299 and after my surgery I rested for about maybe three days and then I started walking around my neighborhood slowly I had a walking stick with Water and my Protein which was the protein that has approximately 30 g of protein Sam's Club, and then I just continue to eat my broth and my two shakes, sugar free Jello and continue to sip or eat it every 15 minutes actually actually set an alarm on my phone to make sure that every 15 minutes I was sipping something and now at week three I did do like a 3 to 4 days stall and then as of today I have lost a total of 30 pounds so I recommend just staying on point with your diet and getting up and moving because it also helps to make sure blood clots are not going to be formed and just keep moving and that helps your metabolism and it's telling your body that you are doing something new now so my dietitian just shared with me yesterday that my stomach is the size of golf ball or I have the stomach the size of a banana and it's all in the mind tricking your mind to say this is it this is what I'm supposed to eat this is the exercise I am going to do and this is the life I'm going to live - 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.
