I have not been on here since before my operation. Today is day 19, I think I am doing oka, the weight loss has slowed down a lot. my heaviest was 265 (my first weigh in), the day of my operation I was 240, today I am 227. I have not dumped, taking everything slowly... getting excited I get to eat food I can chew tomorrow!!! It is kinda strange, some of my friends that have had the operation said they would be there for me and I have not heard a word from them.... yet my best friend, who was against my operation from the start, spent 15 hours with me the day of my operation, and has called me every day, and text me to. so now my goal is to wake up my digestive track, I feel like I am backed up still..... I know I am only "eating" about 3/4 of a cup of food a day but I think by now I should be able to go, with out "help"

Portion Control is not the problem.... I don't eat more then a few tablespoons at a meal.... starting tomorrow, I can work my way up to a 1/4 cup... I bought small containers to keep on top of my food portions!!!!

That's great. It took me awhile to figure out when I was full.

      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.
