Finally feeling better today. Had a massive headache yesterday' date=' and for some reason, was really down. Spent most of day laying in bed. Didn't come near my protien or Water goals. Headache is gone today and I'm gonna focus on hitting goals and staying positive. Some days it is just so hard...[/quote']

I'm so thankful I've found this forum as a outlet cause I feel like u..I lost track a few days and didn't get nowhere near goal with my Protein. Revamping it tho this week and gonna hit it hard. If u ever need to talk I'm here..for u and anyone else. We are in this together and all kinda have the same ups and downs

Hope everyone feels better soon! I hard some bad days but backed off to liquids for a few days and then felt better. I think in my case I pushed the foods too quickly at the beginning.

Meatloaf sounds good. Think I will make that tonight. I use the recipe on the back of the Lipton Beefy Onion Soup mix box. My family loves it and it is easy.

Girl, I have been stuck on 274 for two weeks now. I don't know how it happens when were only eating appx 700 calories a day. I'm two months post op, I thought I'd thought I would've lost a bit more than 45 pounds.

oh well, its not a gain...

So I had an appt with my pcp today. Here I thought I was doing well and he says he expected me to be Down more pounds. :( it was kind of defeating. So needless to say my 45 minutes on the treadmill or bike is getting doubled starting now.

Update on Gallbladder scan....no stones but i got sludge in there. They called it biliary dyskinesia. Have only had very mild left side pain. Dr. said the sludge "could" turn to stones. I don't know what to do??? Should i get it out or wait and see if stones do form? Also, unrelated to gallbladder. Today my pouch is grouchy and crampy....first time since surgery i've had cramps in my pouch that were this uncomfortable.

      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.
