You need to concentrate on Protein right now so you don't go into starvation mode. Jello is considered a clear liquid. i don't know what stage you are in so I can't say but if you just had surgery on the 18th and you are eating salmon already, that is much different than my doctor allowed. Were you ever on the pureed or mushies? That comes before soft food. You can get alot of protein in on mushies. i am curoious why he has allowed you to go to salmon already, but all doctors are different. Eat about every 3 hours and try cottage cheese, refired Beans are great, lentil Soups in blender. Perhaps you should go back to mushies for a cople days so Ou can get more prtein in. It doesn't sound like you are eating enough so you need to try a little every three hours or so.

When your weight bounces up, it is NOT fat you are gaining. It's physically impossible given what you are ingesting. It is Water retention that will leave you. Promise.

I weigh every day, and i can bank on a pattern of lose 1, gain 2, lose 3. Repeat ad nauseum. You get used to it. But the bottom line is......shrinking!

Im gonna add a Protein drink that's sounding good for mid afternoon snack! I guess I'm not eating enough -:( does anyone write down what they eat daily? I need some tips! btw thanks for all the encouraging words!

Myfitnesspal.com is excellent for food journaling. A lot of us here use it. There is a smartphone app for it as well, so it is so easy to enter things on the go too :)

To make sure you are getting the right amount of Protein, it would be a good idea for you to use something like this that calculates it for you. 15lbs down in 15 days is great though...breathe :)

      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.
