Thanks Marvie. You are correct. Each day the post-op pain is subsiding. Today (post-op day five), my doctor schedule allowed me to have thin cream based Soups. I had crab cream Soup. I didn't feel in any negative affects. Hopefully, the rest of my journey will progress this well.

good to hear that you got some cream soup. I bet you never thought that cream soup would sound so good did you? Glad to hear that you are feeling better and things are going well.

Amanda,

I will take your advice and stay away from Tomato. I tried low fat broccoli cheese Soup and diluted it with some chicken stock for dinner it was good. My husband of course asked if that was all I was eating.

Thanks for the warning. Campbell's makes a Tomato bisque Soup that I was thinking of trying. Actually, I had it last year and it was great, but that was in my pre-lapband life.

Amen to that. I am so tired of juices, Water, and Protein shakes.

Your scale shows that you have already lost 12 pounds. That is great, congrats! My banding was done on the 17th, and I have only lost 9 pounds. It is most likely my fault. I have been too sore to exercise. I now feel well enough to start slowly exercising again tomorrow.

      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.
