May I chime in with avocado as a health (and delicious) fat? really Im chiming in for me... it sounds so good I might just have to go get some today...

Bleh! LOL I haaate avocado! My husband will stand in the kitchen and eat them right out of the skin with a fork.

I haven't tried salmon yet but I may over the weekend just to see. I know the tuna from last week settled well with me as did the flounder from this past weekend. I've never been a huge seafood person but I may just have to start experimenting.

Faith, I'm trying like heck to get the calories up there. I think I'm going to have to make it a real point to just do it. It just seems like SO much food. My brain is gawking at "normal portions" compared to my tiny bits. Man this would be so much easier if I wasn't on purees. There's just not much that's.... appetizing AND covers all the major requirements that can be pureed.

Im glad to hear that I am not the only one frustrated. I was sleeved 2/15/11 dropped 23 pounds in two weeks and haven't lost anything since. I am doing everything Im supposed to do. The scale is not moving, if it does it moves up. It is very frustrating when you are only eating 3/4 oz at every meal. I only drink Water. I haven't gotten the okay to exercise and it has been too cold to start walking.

I did read that the 3 - 5 week mark is very tough to loose weight, but that is not what you want to hear after going through what we went through.

Ok so I was sleeved 1/25. I haven't lost any weight in about 2.5 almost 3 weeks now!! It's driving me nuts because I know I'm doing exactly what I'm supposed to be doing. I'm tracking everything. I'm getting plenty of Protein.. my carbs (except for like 1 day?) have been under 50...I'm getting as many calories as I can stomach (I'm averaging 600-700... my fat is WAY low. I'm exercising too. I don't know what else to do. It's frustrating as all hell and I feel like "ok is this IT?? Did I just amputate part of my body for nothing??" I mean it's always been hard for me to continue on the right path w/o some sort of... positive anything. That's why I was never able to stick w/ diets in the past. The only thing keeping me sticking to this is knowing that if I don't I'm going to eff up my stomach. I mean... I've even started smoking again it's that bad. I feel terrible about it. :blink: Thanks for letting me whine. I just thought that if I were able to continue doing what I'm supposed to be doing that something would happen..anything.

I have had to just let go and let it do its own thing...I still weight every day, and have gotten over disappointment. After 4 weeks of stall, It looks like I have lost 1/2 pound... I never thought I could be so happy! Still heading in the right direction! Look and feel better....

Reread Diva's suggestions. I did and I was able to kick that stall loose. I've been paying attention to getting good fats in and trying to get my calories up. Now I'm trying to pay attention to getting Fiber in and I'm trying like mad to get my Water up too.

      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.
