Thanks Amazon and Jennifer! I lost the most in the first three weeks or so. I know that some of that was from the 13 lbs of Water I put on due to all the fluids they pumped into me during surgery and the next 24 hours, lol. I have lost steady and have not yet suffered any stalls. Going to the gym three times a week and using my fitness pal app on my phone has also helped!!

Where are you at in your journey?

I'll be 2 weeks on Tuesday. Lost 18# total. 13 of them were preop 2 weeks of just shakes. Still doing just shakes. Weird, thought I would have lost more only getting abour 500 calories net (after exercise).Hoping when I can add mushies this week might spark it up a bit.

They told me to get as much Protein in as was possible and 64 Oz of fluids. I had to gradually increase both and still struggle with the fluids part. Not sure what type of shakes you are using but my nut said to only use whey Protein isolate type shakes.

You are doing great, the lbs will drop!! Also, if you haven't already done so, take your measurements!! I didn't do this till I was about three weeks out and just re did them and am losing lots if inches and am down almost two full sizes with my current already getting big!!

Hang in and just follow the directions of your doc and nut, you will do great!!

Thanks! I'm hanging in, really trying to push the fluids. Doing mostly muscle milk light shakes. Did measurements preop, was going to wait a month to check but maybe I'll check a bit early! Good luck!

      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.
