I haven't lost an ounce since surgery on 1/4. My first fill is next Tursday, 2/6. I've started being more active and getting exercise in when I can, but I'm looking forward to the "green-zone" and seeing some progress on the scale.< /p>

Unfortunately sometimes it can take a long time to get it right....I'm 1.5 years out and I still have hit or miss restriction. Tonight I was able to eat wayyyy too much lasagna and I think I need another fill. Of course earlier I was PBing, so....

Just because its a slider food( seems most slider foods are bad for you)after you get to the solid stage doesn't mean to eat more. PD's are productive burbs after you have (A) ate too fast or (B) ate too much. Sometimes they will help relieve your discomfort.

      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.
