I am about 2 weeks out(Friday) and I am doing great. I have lost almost 25 pounds since the surgery. I have been back to work since Monday and again have been doing great. Although.... I haven't been super religious with my diet. I was following the Clear liquids diet up until this last weekend. I was so weak and woozy when I was on my feet that I didn't know what was wrong. Then I started to eat some blended Soup and what not and started to feel great. Was anyone else able to eat semi normally after only 2 weeks? I am still losing weight and have not over ate. Been eating Maybe 800 cal a day, and watching sodium intake and what not. Been taking my Vitamins and Calcium, but I just have to eat food with substance or I really cant function very well. Again, just seeing if anyone else was in the same boat I am.

Oh and I broke the 300 pound range 2 days ago! It felt amazing! Haven't been under 300 in probably close to 10 years.

Thats great! Keep up the good work. I was banded on the 23rd. I havent weighed in a few days, I was driving myself crazy doing it everyday. Went thru a few days of no weight loss.

I have just started eating more regular soft food. Had a little salmon today. I stopped before I felt full.

Are you diabetic? Maybe thats why you need some real food. Potato Soup is great. Try some salmon though. I bought the frozen ones and broiled it.

Good luck on your journey!

      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.
