I was using almond milk but its kind of pricey. Someone told me soy milk can cause cancer so I don't wanna drink that. I want to cut calories as much as possible so maybe I'll just suck it up and stick to almond milk. How many calories should I be consuming at 5 weeks? I know everyone is different but I feel like I eat too much.

My RD said to focus more on Protein than calories the first couple of months, but on average she said most people are getting about 600 calories during this time.

Ditto. My RD has me at 700-800 calories and 80-100 grams of protein per day. I'm almost 8 weeks out.

Are you still losing? I get 600-1000 cal a day (usually 800), 63-70 protein and 64-80 ounces if Water and only lose 1-2 pounds a week. The first 2 weeks lost 12 pounds. I am in week 5 and still only 1-2 pounds a week for weeks :( I see my doctor next week but feel like I am doing something wrong. Not sure if I should cut out more calories or add a little more. It is confusing..

I like this recipe my nut gave me: 1 cup part skim ricotta add grated lemon peel, 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1 Splenda packet. Mix it up and separate into 2 portions. I like this as a dessert. Good Protein. I do like the eggface site. She has awesome recipes and she also recommends the SF Torani syrups which I hope to try soon. Maybe you could use the syrups with plain Greek yogurt to make it more appealing. ;-)

A few weeks back I hit a pretty big stall, then started losing inches, now I'm losing pounds again, but it's slow as well; however I feel this is my fault in a way. I've had the upper respiratory junk twice since surgery and its lasted almost 2weeks both times. I haven't been doing the exercise part like I should. Until now, I also haven't been tracking my calorie intake like I should. I plan to change all of that and be more structured. Hopefully I'll start losing better now especially since I feel so much better. And yes I agree, it's confusing and frustrating at times. Good luck!!

      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.
