Luv2plumb Holy WOW!! That is fantastic! You've done tremendous. Seems like you've kicked a$$ this far, I hope you make your goal that would be exciting. Thank you! But I am far from my goal. I started at 228lbs 4/22-DOS, I was in high 240's after pregnancy. I'm now at one month post op and stalled at 195. Surgeon would like to see me between 140-150. My personal goal is 125-135. I haven't been that little in all my adult life. Even if it's just to say I weighed that and gain a couple lbs. Hubby agrees no less than 140. But being 5'3 I wanna see how I look once I reach wherever I feel comfortable. Being Puerto Rican, a girl needs her curves ;)

Yes you need to keep them curves , but don't worry cause the math don't lie , if an average person burns 2000 calories a day just doing normal stuff , and cause of your surgery you can only take in 1000 calories a day then it will start to drop you'll see the math can't be wrong give it time the body is still in a little shock and is trying to figure out what to do it will all fall in to place , but since it's getting nice out you should walk around out side cause I've found that that helps me plus it keeps me out of the kitchen lol

I know the feeling. But how will you be able to teach yourself restraint if you 'cheated' for a bite if eggs. If your feeling hungry you must boost your Protein in take and Water. Our programs are designed to be step by step of what our body needs, healing process and gradually introduce food. We major surgery. It's typical to be on Protein Shakes and sugar free jellos, puddings water and broth for like 3 weeks. You made it as far to have the surgery, you can go two more weeks to make sure you don't overdue your pouch and allow for 100% success with the wls. Brush it off, nothing you can do, you tried a little move forward. You can do it. Good luck.

Agreed eggs are great for Protein, but if your only a week out. It's still very early to introduce that. From what I've heard it's typically 2 (on a shorter side) to 3 weeks before you introduce anything like that. Especially eggs they say bc se people cannot even handle them early on and end up throwing them up, which would not feel good after surgery.

      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.
