Hey gang I'm really having a hard time this week in eating. I have zero motivation to eat anything and find it such a chore. I'm doing terribly on my calorie and Protein intake. I'm getting in about 400 calories a day. Any suggestions on what to do. Getting to 900 calories a day is so very hard.

Does it just seem like to much bother or are things not sitting well? I would also wonder if you are getting enough Water? That could make you not feel well and not feel like eating.

Are you still restricted, diet wise? I know towards the end of my phasing in, I was just sick of the same things. I tended to eat the same things all the time so it felt like a big chore.

You really need to try and get in more calories though, your body could think it's starving and send you into a big stall. That even makes it harder to get motivated.

Not sure how much help this is but hang in there. You can do it!

I'm trying to avoid stalls by keeping my calorie and Protein intake up. I eat a lot of the same things. I drink about 48 oz a day. I exercise 4-5 times a week cardio. I avoid carbs like the plague. I don't get sick/throw up but eating is such a chore. And I do get nauseous sometimes from the shakes.< /p>

It may be associated due to my cycle and getting the Mirena put in this week.

      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.
