I’m home, still trying to adjust to the fact that 2- 3 sips of anything makes me full. Still bloated and have abdominal discomfort, but it was easier to get out of bed today. Thankfully no nausea or vomiting.

Hope soon!! They recommended 1 oz. every 15 min. It’s harder than I thought it would be! My stomach literally says NO, which is great because my problem was always eating too fast.

Sent from my SM-G930VL using BariatricPal mobile app

Nice to meet you as well I had a hard time figuring this app out so I am sorry it took so long to get back to anybody just remember guys keep your eyes on the prize. I'm a little surprised that I'm losing 1 to 2 pounds a day I didn't think I would lose it that fast

My bypass was scheduled for April 21 and I was doing my pre-op diet... then today I got a call from the surgical scheduler, all surgeries have been cancelled due to the COVID surge here in Michigan. 😭 Honestly, I get why it had to be done but I've been waiting six months for this, I was mentally prepared, and had work time-off all arranged... I'm tempted to drown my sorrows in pizza!

      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.
