Thanks for the info. I am getting about 70 grams Protein a day and I am going to try for more. My dr wants me to only eat 900 calories a day, which seems kinda low to me. I figure as long as I don't go over 1000 I am good to go. I am getting more solids in now and that is going great after my first fill. No vomiting yet thank God. I really don't want to experience the PBing that you guys talk about. I know that eventually it will happen though. Thanks for all the advice, it is very much appreciated.

Hi kileybug, my band was March 1st and I had lost 13lbs and when I went to the doctor on Thursday I only had an 8lb lose. I was very upset but the nurse said it was absolutely normal for our bodies to do that and she was proud of me. This is the healing phase and I have to continually remind myself of that. 1lb is four sticks of butter!!!! Your loss is awesome, like 80 sticks of butter! ???œGreat job!!!

      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.
