Your weight will fluctuate its normal, go easy on the potatoes. At three weeks I was on puréed food and could hardly eat 1/4 cp of anything besides liquids.< /p>

Protein Drinks and water... I was stalled at 3 weeks so I just made myself concentrate on just Protein and Water. You can do it! Our weight does fluctuate. The doc said to take 2 sips of Milk of Magnesia every hour until I go when Constipation hits. Usually takes 2 hours...lol

Drink drink drink drink!

I failed to drink and 2 weeks post op almost died of a massive pulmonary embolism. It was caused by dehydration.

Take a drink after you read this. :)

      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.
