O week one is ok, I have heart burn a lot and gas yet gas x is not working, going to doctor tomorrow. I have only lost 4kg since surgery! I thought it would go quicker! I had lost most of that 3 days before surgery on the liquid diet. So I wish I can lose more! Maybe next week for week 2.

Have you been walking? If it's surgical gas, then walking is the only thing that will relieve it, Gas-X won't. There is also a lot of swelling and a lot of extra fluids we are given during surgery. It can take time for the swelling to go down and fluids to leave, so some people take more than others to lose all that extra weight from surgery. Hang in there!! Good luck with your appointment.

Yes I am walking not doing too much more then that! Passing gas lots but I have no issues eating and so I will have some soft food, like I had some mash potatoes here. But not losing any weight And I thought I would be by now!

      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.
