Today marks the 2 week after my life changing event! :-) I am so excited to see results I have not weighed this week I lost 16lbs my first week stiil cant believe that! Im having trouble this week adjusting to only being able to have 2-3 bites a meal. You see I love food I love the time with my family during meal times, going to lunch with my besties and am struggling with my old eating habbits vs my new. I know though withGod,family and friends this too shall pass! Feeling down is all today

I know hwo you feel, I too have friends and family who eat all the time and that is what we did for fun. I still go out with them, and enjoy but just eat Soup or something healthy. It is all mental I am going through this now, you want to eat it but can't. I am now just starting to not crave those things, and cant imagine hoe I ate so much just 6 weeks ago. How life changing is this :)

      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.
