Wish mine did! I could get sooooo much more Water in if I could use straws! I also used to live on crystal light or other brands of water flavoring' date=' and now don't like them at all. Has anyone else had this happen?[/quote']

I cant stand crystal light I love it before surgery but now I hate it

I'm jealous. Lol. I haven't lost for over a week. I'm trying to not get on the scale until my 1 month check up this Friday. I always get my min 60g protein. What are you supposed to get? I'm going to start doing measurements...maybe that will make me feel better.

Although...right now I feel sick. I'm at work and I just ate. Light & fit greek yogurt. Feeling kind of nauseous & shaky. I hope that I just ate too much and I don't get sick for the first time in the office.

Good lord' date=' this place makes me feel like a loser and not in a good way. Have you lost that much JUST since surgery? I've lost 24 pounds. Since surgery itself. MORE than I would have lost without surgery and I try not to judge my loss by others...but damn. What date was your surgery?[/quote']

No, from my highest weight in Feb. I have lost only about 21 since surgery and that was 4/15. I decided to teach myself how to eat prior to surgery so that I wouldn't struggle as much after with all of the changes so I lost 40 before surgery just eating healthier and waaay less food. I haven't been able to really move around until this last Thursday but feeling pretty good now.

Date of surgery 4/23. Hunger has subsided a little but I am not losing. Its been a week since my last weigh in and I gained 1.5lbs. So frustrating. I have not cheated one time. How can I gain weight eating 1/4 cup of food per meal???? Eating all the foods on my list. Grrrrrrr

Getting really tired of these sweet Protein Drinks. Did good all week getting in 60 grams. Yesterday only got in about 25. I can't stand the thought of fixing another shake!!!...Also, i did a "no no" yesterday and had 3 low fat tall house crackers. The crunch from those was amazing :) Left side pain is getting really annoying too! My two week post op appt is today. Have not been on the scale since last Monday. Can't really tell i've lost anything but my feet look skinnier :)

My feet too! I thought it was weird!

      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.
