The first two weeks I was on liquids. I ate chicken broth, drunk tea, sugar free popsicles and Premier Protein shakes. Then the next two weeks, I ate ricotta bake and blended pretty much everything from meat to Beans. If you're sensitive to cheese, I wouldn't eat much ricotta bake. I ended up being constipated for a couple days. The next 2 weeks I've eaten chili from Wendy's. Made my own chili beans with very lean ground beef meat. Like 97% lean. I also started blending my own Protein Shakes. I ordered Unjury unflavored Protein Powder. Added spinach, Protein powder, strawberries, blueberries and my Multivitamins and flax seeds to a nutribullet and that's what I do everyday 2 times a day. Now at 7 weeks, I've started eaten chicken, very soft cooked meat. I've eaten steamed broccoli. Two nights ago, I grilled some Jamaican jerk chicken (spicy) and had no problems. The only problems I have is trying to get 64 oz of Water down. I still wake up with desert dry mouth because of that. Also, the eggs. I'm just gonna stay far far away. It's not meant for me. Monday is my birthday and I received some chocolate covered strawberries and I'm not sure if I should indulge 🤔

I haven't had any problems with anything else. I have eaten chicken. Chili Beans with ground beef. I haven't tried much veggies yet just steamed broccoli and spinach in my Protein Shake. I usually have a Protein shake and maybe two to three chicken wings. I did have cod last week and eating it kinda fast made me feel uneasy. I tried eggs for the first time today and wow..just wow..I'm pretty scared of eggs now lol.

I'm 16 months post-op, and i can still only have 3 buffalo wings max...

My first bad pain reaction was from an omelet at about the same time. I kept texting a friend saying: what the F%$% did I do to myself? Six months out and I still can't eat an omelet or scrambled eggs, but I can eat a poached egg or egg salad. Some other things are still random, but I try to remember to do small bites, chew a lot, and take a break after the first bite or two to make sure everything is ok. I also have to remember to listen to my body--as soon as I'm a little uncomfortable, I stop.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
