I'm 7 weeks post op and actually gained 1 lb this week! I feel like a complete failure. My husband thinks it is due to the fact I'm eating thinks like shrimp with light breading, wings with no skin, a two x two inch piece of chicken pram. Things just were tasting too bland. So, maybe I will never reach my personal goal even with bypass surgery.

Well I started incorporating carbs into my diet at 7 weeks and I have been doing fine. I add only the carbs allowed (whole wheat/multrigrain bread/cereal and 1 tortilla) I dont have this everyday but I do try to have no more than 40g carbs a day. Sugars I stay below 20g and fats at about less than 10g..I do walking everyday and drink up alot of Protein. I think you may want to pay attention as to how the foods you are eating are being prepared. Also watch out for sodium...Wings are high in fat....breaded shrimp (is its baked?) and how much does that 2x2 chicken weight...My Protein is at about 2oz. still so I have to weigh all my food...Its not easy , but you will get there..its just finding the right balance.Follow your menu plan from doctor and you should be fine too =)

      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.
