does anyone feel that they r not eating enough? i am only 2 weeks out but feel i'm not getting near enough food in me. I can eat maybe one or two spoons of cottage cheese and thats it. sometimes I have a little unsweetened applesauce. i can drink about half of a protien drink so I try to do that a little more often.

also, i can't stand plain greek yogurt. does anyone have any suggestions on how to help the taste.

thanks,

Tina

Your still relatively new so it is not worry some that you are able to consume such little amounts. Little by little your body will allow you to eat more.

Do you keep a food diary?

And what foods have you been cleared for?

Can you add SF fruit preserves with splenda to taste to the yogurt? It's seriously delicious- I have had strawberry and blackberry- Smuckers!

You could try adding some honey or sugar free jam (seedless and smooth) to your greek yogurt until you can have it with fruit.< /p>

I'm eating about the same you are sweetie. It's very normal. My NUT says that we are not going to be able to eat anything we will be eating in 6 months and that should be about the size of a CD. Wish you the best. Today I hit my 30 pound mark on my weightloss was so excited. :D

I think as long as your getting your Vitamins and Water in you should be ok. I had a hard time too trying to get more than 500 calories in the first several weeks.

      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.
