I had my surgery on the 10th. I lost about 5 lbs the first week after surgery, but I have gained a half lb during the Mushie week. I'm a little disappointed. I have to drink two boost drinks a day, which is almost 500 calories. Plus the Mushie food I eat.

that's normal...your weight will be up and down for the first month of surgery...stay away from the scalee atleast for the first month if not you will drive yourself crazy...let your body heal and the weight will drop from there..

Save what you have for later when you have those days when you can only have a shake, like after a fill.

Normal, there is no expected weight loss in the first six weeks after surgery. Most loss a few pounds but the sliders we have to eat in the beginnng to give our self to heal are higher in carbs and calories. In the beginning it is key to stay hydrated and drink your Protein. Your body needs to heal.

      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.
