-So I had my nut app today and I am down to 50lb lost since surgery. I have more energy and I feel better about myself. Although looking in the mirror I still see the same person. I personally don't see the weight loss but others do.

-I got into trouble with my nut because I am Not drinking enough during the day. I find it hard to make room for 64oz and eating enough food for the day. Also I have been getting nauseous and dizzy fairly often. So I need to start keeping track of when I get these feelings. To determine if its dehydration,low sugar levels or medication side effects.

-I was put on nausea medication to see if it helps and I also need to add more carbs to my diet. Overall I am doing better day by day. Its a lot of work and hopefully it will keep getting better for me!

Keep up the good work~~!! Definitely follow the doctor's orders. One step at a time you are rocking it~! You are inspiring me.. I am set for a date of September 13th and trying not to wig out and eat everything I can find ahead of time. You would think I am a starving person... I think the psychological comfort of food will be the hardest to kick for me.

That's awesome!!

How many calories are you eating per day?

Could it be your'e not eating enough and that's what's causing the dizziness?

      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.
