I'm right there with ya, but I'm not changing anything cause I know it's just my bodies way of catching up to the quick weight loss. It'll start up again...hopefully sooner than later. lol

When I saw my surgeon (6 weeks post op) he said that 12 pounds in 6 weeks was good. I said I had hoped to lose more weight. He looked at me and asked if I(pre-op) I would have been happy with a loss of 2 pounds a week. Over course I would have been thrilled. He said, and I quote, "What are you complaining about?". Ok. I have lost 2 pant sizes and almost 2 shirt sizes which tells me a lot over and above the scale. My doctor agreed that I am coming along too. My endocrinologist said to keep the Protein up and eliminate the carbs and fats and the weight will slide off. My problem is that I am getting tired of just Protein. tuna, salmon, shrimp, chicken, and eggs are over staying their welcome in my fridge. I have never been one to be ok with repeating a meal in the same few days. Beef and pork doesn't agree with me yet. .....................

I added more protein and Water and the scale has dropped 2 pounds in 3 days. It works.

      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.
