RaniaOnTheRun got a reaction from Glamgirl in Duodenal switch 8 weeks post op not hungry...ughh
I empathize with you big time. I am a month out and I have severe food aversion. Somethings I am okay with and others make me gag. I haven't had one shake since surgery - I lost my taste for anything sweet and I shudder at the thought of drinking another one. The nutritionist at my Dr's office told me that it's normal.
Have you tried bipro Protein Water? It's got 20g of protein and it comes in 2 flavors. It has saved me on the protein front for the days I'm not hungry.
You got this, girl.

RaniaOnTheRun got a reaction from prisa911 in Almost quit on Day 1 of my pre-op liquid diet
I like ShrinkingDixieDS on YouTube. I think she is great!
Hang in there and just focus on the day you have in front of you. The rest will come with patience and being kind to yourself.
Day 3 was the absolute worst for me - I had a complete meltdown. I'm on day 14 now, down 15 inches and 16 pounds. It's all worth it in the end.
All the best,
Rania

I like to watch ClusieL on YouTube. She tells it like it is. And she’s funny. Day 1 WAS the worst for me! My head kept telling me I was hungry and I actually was physically hungry about 3 times. I’m on day 5 now and so far I’ve lost a little over 6 pounds. I know that doesn’t sound super amazing, but it feels amazing . By day 3 I had a bunch of energy, but I did start having a hard time lifting heavy things. I save my sugar free Jello for dinner and it really feels like a decadent dessert! I’ve also been making sure I get around 92 oz of Water a day. Honestly, I think it’s all the water that’s keeping me full.
Just take your time. I had my Optifast Soup and my jello last night and took 2 hours to eat that. I felt sooo full!
You can do it!

RaniaOnTheRun got a reaction from 2018 in Pre Op Diet
My surgeon's group has a lot of free info on their website for bariatric patients including sample diets, education, etc. I was annoyed at first having to go to classes before I was allowed to schedule my surgery but it actually has been really great preparation for the next steps.

My Breakfast is a Special K Egg White omelet sandwich with a piece of Morningstar Farms sausage added to it. It keeps me full without feeling like I'm missing out. My two cents...
