Ok so I'm not losing anything but then again I'm exhausted and apparently not eating enough...but I can't even tolerate eating other foods...I'm whiney! Sorry! I just looked at another menu sample and nearly croaked! An egg AND a sausage patty..I barely finished the egg! I feel like I am such a failure already! I was told to try Soups which my stomach can tolerate then upgraded and take 5 steps back! Can you possibly not lose wt? Cause this is how I'm feeling! Ok sorry that was a little whiney..

It is frustrating. Your body could be in "starvation mode". Talk with your nutritionist, you may be able to find some foods/shakes that will increase your caloric intake and get you the nutrition you need.

Try powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup or some other higher Protein options to get in what you need.

How far out are you?

Good luck!

All you can do is keep trying to see what works, you are still healing so hopefully things will begin to get better. Are you taking any acid reducer?

You're not a failure, your experience is just different than others. I would definitely reach out to your nutritionist and see what you can do to increase your Protein with what you can tolerate. Do puddings go down ok? I've found that heating my milk for the Protein shake (like hot chocolate) really helped. There are even some drinks (not shakes) that are available www.bariatricchoice.com Maybe something like that would mix it up for you and get you the much needed Protein.< /p>

      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.
