How are you doing?

Thanks for asking! I'm great! I hit all my Protein and Water goals, if not exceed them, each day. I'm back to normal food, but I do sometimes supplement with a Protein Drink or bar, or add powder to one meal. I find I need to have "sauce" with meat. I eat it with hummus, mashed avocado, sugar-free BBQ Sauce or ketchup, etc... Weight is not really coming off, but inches are so I'm not worrying about it as long as my body keeps changing since I've been working out pretty hard since 4 weeks out.

Funnily enough, it took me until 5 weeks out to get the surgery report/images and finally find out why I had 6 incisions instead of 5. They tried to inflate my abdomen in one by my belly button but apparently my abdominal wall muscle is 'abnormally thick', and so they had to move up higher and use 'vigorous traction'. Yeah... the bruises showed that one.

      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.
