I am almost 3 weeks out and have just transitioned from clear to full liquids. I'm probably eating around 300-400 calories a day - which might explain why I feel so hungry! I drink a fair amount of Water but only getting in around 40-50 g Protein daily. I bought some powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken broth which packs in 21 g so that is good. Can't wait for the soft foods stage.

I have started walking for about a mile twice a day. So far I have lost 17 lbs - that was with no pre-op diet though so the weight loss will be faster initially because of that.

Checking in here too. I'm stalled. Blah. I eat about 600 calories a day at 4 weeks post op. I can eat most things now, but I stay away from dry or dense meat still. I love salad and tried some this week. It settled well, so I was happy about that. I am bummed the weight is coming off faster, but I look so much better now. I'm back in school full time and feel normal. I am no longer the fat one. ( I lost a lot pre op) My TOM is late. I'm going to assume I have a little Water weight from that and as soon as she rears her ugly head, the losing will commence again. I wish it would just happen already. I got all the symptoms, I know I ovulated, got crampy for a day, got zits but nothing else.

Typical day of eating for me:

1 egg omelet (whatever fillers I feel like) sometimes 2 egg whites, sometimes 1 egg plus 1 egg white, though I can't quite finish it.

1/2 C cottage cheese

tilapia fillet

shake

or

shake

1/2 c low fat chicken salad

string cheese

2 meatballs and 1/4C salad

if I'm still low on Protein, I'll have 1/4 C cottage cheese or greek yogurt as a snack

      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.
