So I had surgery may 15th and it went well, my stitches came out early so healing us slow and I had to go on clindamycin but that's ok. While on the medication you need to eat, so I tried eggs! And man oh man they are great! Make me feel good, and give me energy, and I love it! So eggs and soft foods now:) however I am still not losing weight. Any ideas? I walk every day and do house work. However since may 15th I've only lost 4kg so that's 8.8 pounds. I need to do something to help it go faster! Any ideas?

I think 8.8 lbs in that amount of time is great - especially since you've been on antibiotics. Some of us just lose slower than others. I lost a lot in the first 25 days after surgery, but have slowed down quite a bit since. Check with your NUT and Dr. to see if they're satisfied with your loss and perhaps they have suggestions. It's wonderful that you're able to tolerate eggs and moving around so much.

I don't think 8.8 pounds is a bad loss so far. I think that is right around what I had lost at that point. It also has to do with how much you need to loose. My weight loss wasn't too fast in the beginning but it has stayed consistent thought the process, and I'm happy with it now.

I agree, eggs are great! I melt a little bit of cheese on mine and that is one of my favorite meals now.

Good luck!!

      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.
