Any word on Melissa (Dragonwilo)?



Recommended Posts

Melissa - I was not allowed to drink Protein shakes or anything with yogurt in it until day 7 - so if you feel gassey, that may be why. I have found I feel better if I avoid milk.

Good luck!!

I'm at day 11 and counting!!! "-)

I am happy to hear how well you are doing Melissa! Keep it up. Try not to cheat any because it will hurt and not make you feel all to well. You don't want to mess anything up. How much have you lost? I hope you do really well with the first two weeks. I lost 17 pounds the first two weeks. It was nice to see it go so fast. Now it has slowed down at a snail's pace. I need to get my but up and working out. It is hard to get motivated though. I am going to go tonight and work out. I need to keep it going. Keep me posted on how you are doing ok? Have a good one.

Pretty much just having the protien drinks, the fuze (which is kinda equivalent to crystal light.) Water and broth. The broth is my favorite right now I think...it goes down easy and I don't feel so bloated. I think it might be all the milk as I have been lactoase intolerant in the past if I had large amounts of dairy. And while I'm not having alot of dairy its a good chunk of what I am having. I'm still at 7lbs loss pretty much since surgery. Figure it will be slowing down now...can't continue to loose that fast (too bad LOL). I'm getting in at least an hour of walking, in 10-20 minute stints. I think i'm going to have a pretty bad scar where i had a pinkish birthmark...they went right through it so now there are some raised edges there and LOTS of bruising.

Going to go take a nap before the kids get home. Its impossible then.

Cool! You are doing great. That milk has to be bothering you? I couldnt handle it. So I stayed away from it. The broth was yummy. I loved that the most as well. It does go down much easier.

Take your nap and hope you get some rest before they get home.

      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.
