17 months since surgery.

Current weight 156lbs. Right in my BMI range but lately Up and down trying to find maintenance. No easy task.

food choices remain the same although I may take a short break from yogurt for a while. Labs for my 1.5 yr check up soon. I plan to discuss with my surgeon reflux, bowel movements, sleeve capacity and maintenance. The next time I see them will be at 2 yr mark or after so i plan to get guidance ahead of time.

Noteworthy:

Finally told a few important people about my surgery, met an AMAZING new friend (you know who you are 😍🌸) & experienced the beach with a bikini. No regrets at all.

      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.
