I am 5 weeks post op today. Since my two week post op I haven't Lossed. I am working out 6 days a week.i am eating so good. Like 90 to 100 grams protein.100 oz of Water a day. Was only eating 500 calories a day. Started today eating a little more. Like 800 to 1000. Does anyone have any suggestions on helping me. I am thinking just increase and keep giving 100%.I get my first fill on the 1st.hopefully then I will start losing. This weight will come off soon enough. Its got too.

Something I'm finding is that we have to often play with our diets to figure out what works best for our bodies. I was only eating 1000 calories a day and my weight loss started to slow. I increased my calories to 1100-1200 a day and lost over 20 pounds this past month. Obviously my body needed more calories to kick-start my metabolism into working.

Believe it or not, a slight increase in good carbs can help sometimes too. When I say good carbs, I mean whole grain. Nothing white, bleached, or with the word "enriched" in the description.

I'd try adjusting your diet a little, see what happens. It's all a learning process.

      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.
