No you are not alone. I am roughly 3 weeks post op and I have the same feelings. It also doesn't help that the scale hasn't moved in a week. I don't miss food at all. I just have these times I feel so down and upset with myself and my decision. Wondering if I would be happier without the surgery. I know this is normal' date=' my support groups and appointments assured me it could happen. However until it does happen you don't know how to handle it. I just try to breathe and talk to my husband, he doesn't get it but he tries.[/quote']

Hi Jen. Hang in there. You will start dropping soon. I was stuck and didn't lose anything the first three weeks but suddenly my body caught up and started losing quickly after that. I had surgery on August 27. I was 332 pre-liquid diet 310 day of surgery and yesterday I weighed 275. I remember I was so frustrated at first and was questioning my decision to have surgery but I sure don't regret it anymore.

      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.
