One thing I'm happy about is food I used to like such as seafood are still very appealing to me. I'm glad because I want some of my first real solid food to eat when I'm ready is fresh baked gulf oysters :)

Angie!!' date=' I'm not sure. I had read that other people lost more initially.... I realize the problem isn't the 15 lbs. it's comparing my weight loss to other people's. in retrospect, I am doing as well as I am supposed to do and need to not worry about how much other people loose initially.[/quote']

We are all so different. There are so many factors that impact our losses. And everyone counts their losses differently. As long as you are doing what you are supposed to than you are doing great. Trust and Celebrate the work you are doing!

I would like to know the same too. I made the mistake last night of having puréed fruit in my jello' date=' and regretted it all night long. I think that 6 oz is too much......lol[/quote']

I agree! 6 oz might be excessive. I had Tomato Soup for dinner and now I'm having stomach cramps. I've been able to handle that much until today. I have to eat much less and much slower. Every day I'm learning more about my pouch!

I too had mashed potatoes. Ate and savored each tiny bite. What heaven. I became"full" at a teaspoon and a half. I'm probably starting three/ four days earlier than the scheduled plan, but really I am only introducing a few things to satiate my taste buds. Actually almost getting 600 calories in now nine days out. Doc visit tomorrow

I'm 9 days out too, but really struggling to get in some calories. I've reached 400 once, most days it's 100-250. Totally jealous of your 600 : )

Pre-op, I was doing a champ at getting in Protein. Now, I can barely finish 1/2 a Protein shake a day. Hopefully I can make some serious progress in the next few days. I've gotten in maybe 1200 calories over the last 9 days. That can't be healthy in the long run.

I wish I could get in 600 cal!! I'm lucky to get about 400 also. I'm doing well with Protein shakes, I can take almost 50g a day, but calories is another thing!

HumorMe00.... You will get there. Progress takes time.

      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.
