I have cut out all carbs. I am basically living on chicken and fish. I feel like I am not loosing weight. Does any one have any diet advice. Should I go to weight watchers. Should I just do shakes. Please help..

I eat a lot of chicken and fish too. I also like lean pork loin. It comes in different flavored marinades. I like the honey mustard and terriaky. You don't say if your working out. If your not, I would start. It really works wonders for weight loss. Start slow and gradually increase your duration and/or intensity. I would also journal what you eat, then you can see what your eating. I did it on paper but lots of people like to use apps online. One is fitday.com. Hope this helps.

I don't believe in cutting out all carbs. I think it's a quick fix but not a long term solution. Your body needs carbs just like it needs a certain amount of fat. If you find the right combination of carbs, veggies, and Protein they will work together to fuel you body and you will start back losing. I try to follow the Michael Thurman's body makeover combination for my body type A. 3oz of protein, 1/4 of carb like a sweet potatoe, and 1/4 cup of greens. I can't eat it all but I do what I can. Breakfast he suggests 1/2 cup of oatmeal (good carb) and 1 egg white (protein). This really works if you follow it and drink you Water for the day. Of course working out always help.

      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.
