I am a slow loser too:( I lost 17 lbs on the liver reduction diet for 2 weeks' date=' but since then only 13 in 3 weeks:([/quote']

I lost only 6 lbs :-( during my 10 day liquid diet before. I think my body definitely went into starvation mode. I think I average 1lb loss in 2 days. I guess I'm happy with it. I get the Protein in everyday (84g today). Trying to finish up the Water. The water has been slow going lately.

I had my post op visit today- met with dietician, nurse then the surgeon. Lotsa info. I am 3 weeks out and down 20 pounds. They told me to wean off the Protein Shakes to 1 per day and increase Water. I am to eat 2 ounces of Protein with each meal and have 2 small Snacks. They said to make sure always eat protein first then veggies. I am still on soft diet until 6 weeks ( able to mush with a fork). The doc said to ramp up exercise. He said the major weight loss will be the first 6 months and then will wain toward the one year mark. I wanted to share that I did my protein shakes with warm water, kind of like cocoa. Thanks for the tips on the Lose It App. I was told today that the most successful losers journal.

      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.
