Ditto what Mis73 said. And after that there is no set standard since everyone is different. Your journey will not look like most anyone elses.

I agree. Today marked 2 weeks for me, I've lost 12 pounds since my surgery date on May 10th, but I think it's just from all the liquids. How do your incisions look? I'm struggling to get enough Protein and fluids. How do you feel?

Yes everyone is different. I have only lost 7 pounds and my fiancé lost 17 and we had surgery together. Yes you are healing right now so don't worry if no pounds come off. You actually start when u are on solids again. Good luck

What is the protein/meal replacement that you found, where at, and how much dinero? I am seriously struggling with the Bariatric Advantage Protein they provided - nasty. Do the ones you found taste alright?

I'll be 3 weeks tomorrow (5/25) and have lost 16#, but still focusing on liquids and mushy stuff. I have to really be careful that it is mushy and wet enough, because if it gets stuck, it isn't any fun when it comes back up.

I started mushy as well my surgery was the 11th. I had an egg tonight for dinner. Now I know one egg isn't enough Protein. So I ate the egg and then waited and had some Protein shake to get my Protein in. Was wondering if that was okay because I was thinking the Protein Shake would wash my eggs down. What are everybody thought on this? Thanks Tammy

Getting the Protein in and liquid is harder than I thought. I started drinking Isopure but its $5 a bottle. 40g of protein per bottle.I lost 7lbs so far but just started full liquid today and for some reason thought I was starving all day. I've been walking but the gas pains in my chest and shoulders are killing me. Is anybody else still having trouble with this.

      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.
