This is the toughest stage, i went through the same thing keep doing what is working for you, as your tummy heals it will allow more to enter it. Some days i thought i was dying of hunger, but i am 33days in now and doing well. My tummy tells me really quickly what i will and will not eat again and how fast i will andwill not eat. This journey will be a lifetime journey. Enjoy the ride to reach back she share with other coming behind you.

Starting weight after 3 month waiting period 270lbs my weight now is 244lbs. My medical issues are getting better everyday.

Hang in there and when your not sure of something of course check with you medical team and you can always reach out to us. Surgery date was 2/20/2019.

I am going on 3 weeks. No one explained how much my endocrine system would be impacted and as a result the hormones, mood swings. I had soaking sweats, and was chilled to the bone!! Dealing with the pain, post surgery yuck, sleep patterns all askew, i was a mess!! Im a fairly logical person and my body's physical response really has thrown me.

i also had major alterations in my taste buds and smell. Everything smelled and ta sted bad. My Dr and medical staff have helped. Using some medication help forh sleep and emotional wellness has been a stabilizing factor, not a crutch. I can appro ach my nutrtional needs sooooo much better

      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.
