Congrats on having the surgery and also for asking for help! That's the 1st step with anything!!! You want to start back up and that's huge! I'm just a couple weeks out of surgery so I'm no expert but I do try to find positivity with most things. It's been rough for me too. I lost my mom on dec 20th and had my surgery on the 26th. So yea..I havent been top motivated to do anything! What is helping me get through each day is the fact that I have each day to get better. It's one day at a time! Start slow getting as much Protein as you can. Try to eliminate the carbs and go from there. This isn't a sprint! It's a life long marathon that we can get through. We had the surgery so we could better ourselves. So that's what we need to do. I'm here if you need someone to chat with

Have you connected with a surgeon in your new state for continuing followup visits? The will see patients on whom they didn't operate. Also, look for support groups in your new area. They are usually open to everyone, no matter where you had surgery. Good luck!

I was exactly this way at 8 months. I pulled out all of my nutrition notes and acted like I was prepping for surgery. I did Protein Shakes and fluids for 1 week and then started back to eating small meals again choosing Protein first and no bread. This helped reset my mind again. This is a journey, not a sprint. WE will fall down. Just pick yourself up and try, try again. You can do this!! Remember you are worth it!!

      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.
