I'm sorry, i dont want to scare u, it suppose to only happen to 2 % of people and once it happens, you are a higher risk for another slip, thats why i'm scared, I feel better today, doing protien shakes and yogurt and doing ok. ill test it out tomorrow and see how it goes, thanks for your encouraging words....:ohmy:

So sorry... my words were not encouraging at all- because I'm too new at this to help much. I did pray for you and sent you thoughts of wellness a few times today.

I kept looking for a reply and when there wasn't one... I hoped all was OK. The fact that you are feeling better today is an excellent sign. Even an unexperienced bander like me can tell you that.

Sometimes I wonder if when we start feeling so much better we do a bit too much. I know myself it's been 4 wks and I feel great and my back doesn't hurt anymore, my knee isn't sore. I can do things I haven't been able to do in a while but have to remind myself..... go slow!

Starting weight (first weigh-in) 238 Today 212 !!!!!!!!!!!!:scared2:

      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.
