Are you tracking your calories? How many calories are you eating per day?

You really didn't give too much information to what you are eating or if you are working out. So, if you are not working out start and if you are increase the minutes or days or intensity. Drink more Water and cut out high calorie drinks. You may need to decrease your calories. Sometimes small amounts of food can still pack plenty of calories. If you are snacking stop. I didn't lose any weight over 3 months this past summer and it was because I wasn't working out enough, snacking too much, drinking too many calories, and I didn't have the proper fill. You will eventually get to a fill where it helps but until then don't sabotage yourself like I did.

Yea, how many calories? Exercise 4 hours a week? Meeting your Protein goal?

My first fill (5.5 CCs in a 10 CC band) didn't do much either. Later, when I had 7 CCs, then I felt restriction and it was a whole new ball game.

Until you have restriction, try to focus on good nutrition and healthy activity. Hang in there. It gets better!

      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.
