No more pains at all from surgery. Still not losing weight since released from the hospital. Under 600 calories a day. At least 60 to 70 grams Protein a day. No sugars or carbs yet. All Vitamins and minerals are being taken daily. I just have to wait till the scale starts slip sliding down again. I hope everyone a great day as well. You got to just love how they shave us for surgery.

Glad you're doing well. Your incisions look GREAT for so quickly after surgery, mine were still black and blue at this point. Good luck on your weight loss journey.

It's beautiful, bright sunshine but cold out here in Tennessee. I couldn't stand it anymore, so my wife and I decided to go to Walmart and walk around some other stores. I was still wearing my 44" jeans and they were loooooooooose on me. My wife asked me to go and try on some new jeans. Tried some on. 38" is still a tad tight but got them, paid for the jeans. Wore the jeans out. Felt really good to see the difference. Little victories are nice.

      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.
