Someone suggested drinking a Protein Shake for Breakfast and lunch for a few days with lean meat and veggies for dinner. Make sure you're getting >60 grams of Protein and > 64oz of fluids. It broke my 2 week stall with a 4 pound loss and lots of changes in my body. The only thing is that I don't know if it broke the stall or if it just broke on it's own. It's worth a try, though. Good Luck!!!

Another suggestion my NUT tells me is to have at least one meal w no carbs. Preferably the evening meal, but not necessarily. She said something about it wakes up the body or something.....she told me this in preop in May so i'm really digging into my memory bank. Can anyone confirm this? Or did I make it up? :-)

I am going to try the Protein Shakes again, but to be honest i hate them :-) any suggestion with the shakes? ? After surgery i can't tolerate any artificial sweetners so this is a hard one. Thank you for the suggestions!!! :-)

      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.
