Hello everyone! Hope all of you are well :)

Weighed myself and I am officially 44 pounds lighter at 6 weeks post op. I can pretty much tolerate anything and my stomach is one hell of a trooper! I've been mostly eating the healthiest options I can with what I have. I have whole wheat stuff every now and then but it's so filling I can't even finish one slice with the crusts cut off! Rice is just so filling, I don't find it worth eating and I don't miss it. I usually have chicken and fish. No meat or pork just yet, and I only miss steak. I noticed that chips are TOO easy to eat so I try and stay away from those. I hate to say that I did have chicken nuggets once and my body just does not like junk food anymore. I feel weaker after I eat bad things and I can feel my heart working a bit harder, so it's not worth it anymore. It also makes me feel tired. I sometimes have ice coffee with skim milk and sugar subs. I love nuts and sunflower seeds but ill have to cool down with those since they're high in calories. Other than a craving or two here and there, it's been great! A struggle the first three weeks but I'm feeling so good. Energy is up! And my old jeans fit again! :)

Best thing is that I can finally start working out this week!! Can't wait for those results :)

We sound the same. Also 6 weeks out today and lost 43 lbs as of yesterday. I can tolerate everything. I don't eat it all but haven't had an issue. Do you find you have to eat a bit more in order to lose?

Keep up the great work

      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.
