Typically there is a stall after the first couple of weeks. You should be following what your Dr. or your Nutritionist is recommending for food intake. For me I was on liquids for 2 weeks, purees for 2 weeks and then mushies for 2 weeks. This gives your stomach time to heal and your body to properly adjust to the change in diet. Right now I am at 800 calories, and for the last 3 weeks I've lost exactly 3 pounds. That's not that unusual. My nut. thinks that I should eat around every 2 hours, and that is tough for me. I don't get hungry and just forget to eat.

You probably are in starvation mode, meaning your body is holding on to the fat for dear life. You won't lose as much weight that way. There are things you can do, up the Protein, Water and cardio. Lower the carbs. Carbs are easy to grab but act like a brick wall when it comes to lousing weight. Right now, I eat a lot of cottage cheese, humus, yogurt. Most meats work if they are chopped really fine. I drink the ready to drink Protein Shakes, not the powdered ones. I could live on Premiers.

      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.
