I'm sure your wife will do fine!

How does it feel to be struggling to NOT lose more weight? I honestly can't imagine. I can only remember once in my life when I was losing weight without really trying...and that was while having the flu, an appendectomy, and lung abscess all at the same time.

I do realize it can be a serious thing but gosh...it seems like it'd be so easy (for me) to simply switch to some higher calorie foods vs always thinking about bulk vs calories.

Its hard because I'm trying not to add the stuff that got me so overweight in the first place. I still don't do rice, Pasta, breads. No sweets. I'll figure it out. It is very weird going to a dr or nut and they tell you to gain some weight

      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.
