Going well here, had the port stitches out today. All is healing well. Guess it will be about 2 wks or so before I also need a fill. Wait & see how the weight loss is going.

Doing MUCH better! Eating mushy food. Just a few more days till REAL food. My dr. doesn't do fills till 8 weeks out, so I don't get a fill till July 18th. But that's ok. I think I'll be able to handle Bandster-hell for a bit.

Can't believe it's been 3 weeks! I thought I'd NEVER get thru that first week of liquids... and nausea.. but I am stronger than I thought, I guess!

Hope all are doing well too!

Am also on soft foods til the 20th or so. I guess I must have been lucky as I only had one bout of nausea which was just the day I was leaving Mexico. I think I have done well. Have been careful to follow the food plan. A couple of times I did feel so full that I thought I would explode but having it come back on me, made me realize to be careful to let my fork rest in between bites.....

You are so right, only 3wks since surgery.....

5 Weeks out... Who else is in Banster hell????

ME!!!!

I can't wait for my fill! July 18th.

I have noticed that I don't eat 'as much' but I can still pretty much eat anything. I had pb'ing one day when I ate some turkey too fast, but otherwise, everything is free game! I'm trying really hard to not eat bad things...

But I do notice that I get hungry/hunger pains instantly. I have to keep cheese and raw nuts on hand to tide me over between meals.

How are you doing?

Im in Bandster hell with you ladies. Really pushing the exercise. I am pretty good food wise up until I get home. I just get so hungry I have a really hard time keeping my portions small. I can't wait for my fill which had to be moved forward to July 13th:sad:

Im still waiting for my first fill and am really trying (not very successfully) to eat right the evenings are the hardest. I am however exercising like crazy. I am doing curves 5 times a week and am on the second week of the couch to 5 k program. I feel better and I know I am losing inches based on the looseness of some of my clothes but my scale is staying stubbornly in one place sigh

Then i don't feel so bad. No weight loss in over 2wks no matter what I do. Going for 1st fill on the 9thjuly. Sure hope it helps. Still eating lightly & I find it hard to figure out why no weight loss at all. If I try to eat a little too much, it all comes back up... Yeah, hungry as well.

      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.
