CONGRATS on losing 70 lbs. It is frustrating when you can only eat 3 bites of something. Have you spoke with your doctor lately? BTW my weight loss slowed way down at around 7 months so don't be discouraged if it happens to you. Just keep doing what your doing now. :P

70lbs = 10lbs a month - not bad at all. If you didn't have this surgery, would you be down 70lbs? Losing slower is healthier. Are you getting enough Protein and Water? With only being able to take 3 bites, it sounds like you aren't really getting enough nutrition. Maybe speak to your doc or NUT.

what some of us have to do is up our calories which results in weight loss.....

perhaps eat some yogurt and or sf pudding, sf Jello, peanuts, Protein shakes......

Do what you need to do so that you do get your nutrition in.

are you taking your Vitamins?

All these things are really important...............: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.
