Hello everyone, I am 10 days post-op and man am I bored. I want to clean. It’s something I do a lot and I can’t really bend without pain and I don’t think my surgeon would want me using the swifter and hand vacuum. So, I’m pretty bored. Hate watching tv because it makes me “head hungry”. So yea, I have two more weeks before anything major. I go back to week in three weeks. Also my progress has been SLOW. For my weight I should have lost 10-30 lbs in the first ten days. I lost like 5-7. I lost 15lbs in the pre-op diet so I wasn’t expecting a stall so soon. I was stalled for like four days. So yea, that’s where I’m at if anyone has any advice or words of encouragement.
I'm 13 days post OP and I'm down 21 pounds but I'll say what's helped me is I went back to work a week after surgery and I move and stand around all day and strictly just drink Protein Shakes and eat fish and eggs

Well it was next day delivery so that’s not an issue, £30 GBP I’m not sure yet? I kinda woke up really different this morning as I actually slept really well and on my side! So don’t know if I have turned a big corner. Will let you know later if I rate it

ok didn't like the band for my tummy, felt a bit tight on an already tight tummy! it was actually £18GBP. I have packed it back up to send back (only wore it for half and hour)

Also I think I had my first foamy (not sure if that is spelt right?) but I might have eaten my yogurt too quickly and I felt really faint and had foam coming up my throat. I just went upstairs and laid on my bed for a bit and was then fine. It was the same yogurt that I have eaten for the last week, so no suspect ingredients, I might have just eaten too quick. Good lesson to slow down next time!

Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

I wish I could do that but everything to me is so sweet, sf popsicles, sf Jello or pudding even Protein Water that I even water down and let not discuss the Vitamins. My taste buds have changed. I am so happy the I can at least have choc. Premier shake since those have been my only source of protein. Can't wait for really food.

      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.
