hey gang

long time no speak :thumbup:

well today was my first visit post op to the surgeon

he is very happy with how everything is going after all the initial dramas i encountered

jumped on the scales and now am 31.90 kg less than starting weight which is awesome in 3 mths ( so he says ? )

he had a feel around where ive been saying that my port has been sticking out ( like a pointy corner of a match box pushing hard against the inside of ya skin )

he says that its actually the tube that is between the port & band & that it has just formed bit of a loop and that its NOT the port at all. he says that its fine and when i loose another 20kg he will look at fixing it up. so all good

hope everyone is well and merry christmas & happy new year & stuff

cheers

      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.
