You have to remember, fills don't make you lose weight. Burning more calories than you consume is what causes you to lose weight.

How long has it been since you lost weight?

Are you counting calories? Sticking to a cup or less of food per meal? Exercising?

Hey Diamante,

The best advice i have gotten on this site so far is that until you get in the "green zone" and have good restriction with your fills, it's just another diet! Restricted food, feeling hungry, will power, calories in vs calories out and all the rest of it.

Obviously it's slightly more complicated on the body cos surgery and healing is involved, but that will pass.

From what i've read, you are just in the first "adjusting to your new lifestyle" period of it all.

It only gets easier and if you can get through the first few months of feeling hungry, dealing with the big change lifestyle change, healing your body and learning what foods work for you, you will be just as successful as the next person!

Good luck :)

If you are monitoring your calories you should be losing weight. How many calories are you eating?

      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.
