I am 2 months out and I can not eat hardly anything! I have not yet experienced hunger so I have to make myself try to eat something. When I think about eating I just want to gag and even my liquids are sometime to much for my tummy to handle. I can get in just enough Water and gatorade to keep from getting dehydrated. Some days I can manage to get in 2 tbls of food all day so basically I feel like I'm gonna waste away. I've lost 60 lbs so far, which is way too fast I think, and I'm not even hungry. I feel pretty much like crap all the time and I know its because of the lack of nutrition. I can't even do the Protein Drinks. If anybody is having or has had anything similar to this I would like to hear about how you are handling it. Thanks.

Have you discussed this with your nutritionist or surgeon? It is critical that you address this right away as the lack of Protein alone can be devastating to your body. At 8 weeks out, based upon my plan, you would be transitioning to 3 oz of food per meal. Obviously you're not anywhere near that.

Good luck and keep us posted!

Do you see your nutritionist? I am 5 weeks out and am in a very similar spot. I was just told if I don't turn it around in 3 weeks they willl put a feeding tube in. I can't do the shakes but she did give me some ideas - I have the ok for Protein bars, Protein Jello (apparently at GNC), she told me I can nibble all day long on Protein Bar, cheese, yogurt, Peanut Butter and continue to drink if I need to. I know it's all against the rules but she told me I need to be doing anything I can.

      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.
