checking in this week at 257.2, down a pound. Wish it was more, but with the poor food choices I made this past week I'm just happy to see a loss at all.

Hello everyone. I am down 3.8 pounds (to 230.8) this week. I have been sick this week and the dr. gave me some antibotic that has literally taken away my appetite...so I have really been losing, but I know that these higher numbers will slow down once I finish the meds.

I am actually up 2 pounds today. But I think it is Water retention. I can feel it in my fingers/hands. I have had a craving of Tomato juice this weekend.

While I love it, it is loaded in salt. So I plan on drinking a lot of water today and during the week and hoping for a loss by next week.

157 today :(

      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.
