Beginning of 2 week pre-op: 235 lbs

Day of surgery (20 Aug): 214 lbs

3 weeks post-op (9 Sep): 206 lbs

I'm so discouraged with how little I've lost since the surgery.

I'm walking 2 miles every morning and every evening.

I get in the required amount of Water and Protein every day.

I'm still on pureed foods but I vary the foods I eat for every "meal". I'm eating about 2-3 oz every 2-3 hours but within an hour of eating, I'm extremely hungry. I wait as long as I can before I eat again. After eating or drinking, I'm plagued with heartburn. I'm getting about 500 - 600 calories every day. My body functions are regular.

What can I do so I'm not SO HUNGRY?

What can I do to prevent heartburn?

Why am I losing so little weight? (8 lbs in 3 weeks!)

Help!!!!

Hi I wanted to post this so the August ppl can log our success and weight lost so far..

My Surgery date 8/8/2013

highest weight was 220' date=' surgery weight 213, current weight 195

All in all I've lost a total of 25 pounds and so happy I lost 7 pounds on my two week preop than the rest the first week post op.. I was stuck at 196-200 until yesterday and now I have lost another pound and that makes me happy to know that the scale started moving back the right direction again!! :)

Highest weight: 303

Weight after pre-op diet/date of surgery 8/27: 280

Current weight: 259

If you are having trouble getting in Protein try mixing a bottle of Isopure with 1 quart of Water and a large packet of crystal light. I drink that all day and it gives me 40g Protein and 64 oz. of Water.

I am still having a hard time finding a Protein shake that I like, but this helps me a little.

      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.
