Recommended Posts

its 6 weeks today. i am now happy and relieved and excited. i spoke to my nut because my dr said 1200 cal and my nut said no its ok to do 800cal and 120 carbs is ok. now i feel like i can breath and enjoy eating again without feeling like a rope is around my neck. she also wants me to do only 1 shake a day yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. because i get in over 100 grams of protien. so since im getting it in food i can reduce my supplement yayyyyyyyyyyy.everything else is ah ok

That's great! I wonder about my weight loss stalling as the calories go up. I did great on Jenny Craig 2 years ago, but when I ate 1200 cals. I didn't lose, when my food selections totaled less, closer to 900 cals. a day, I lost 1-2 lbs. Of course I got to the point after losing 70 lbs. that I just couldn't 1) stand the food any more and 2) just couldn't lose any more (I was exercising 5/6X week too!) and paying close to $100/week for my food, motivational and exercise tools! I think I'm going to have to stay under 1000 if I want to see the scale move regularly! Good luck, have a blessed day!

      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.
