I have followed my doctor's order to a t as well. However I was told that I needed to be getting about 60g-65g of Protein in and just this past week I've been getting in at least 75g and I have actually lost more weight. Im not sure what you've been told by your Nut but maybe uping your protein might help.

I'm trying this so I'm so glad to see u posting this. I'm super slow loser..apr 30th was my surg date and I'm down 38lb..feel not so successful! I've forced myself to increase my intake all the way around hoping it boosts my loss. Crossing my fingers.

So..the only news I know at this point is my hubby's a going to retrain. I'm looking at about at least 2-4mon before we will know where. Sucks not knowing but this is the military life. He has narrowed down the places tho so I feel slightly better. Hopefully we will know more about his date of surgery next Tuesday. Would at least make it easier to think about.

I kinda played hooky today. I didn't really have anything to do at work so I didn't go and I kept my son home. Have been counting my blessings after a day of watching Netflix documentaries..always good to see something alot worse so u know just how much u do have good <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> trying to be positive and waiting for the hubby to come back home hoping for any news.

Took my son to get some yogurt and was super nice. Took the chance to go also and get some more Vitamins. At Walgreens they now have diff vitamins and also fish oil in "pearl" form. Alot easier to swallow that the big traditional fish oil. It's hot today so gonna couch surf for awhile til time to cook dinner.< /p>

I love Netflix documentary marathons :)

BethAnn-IMO you should get it taken out on your scheduled day. You certainly don't want to wait until it starts hurting again. You've already been through enough without more pain. Good luck!

When I had mine out it was 0% functional. So my attacks were months apart at times. But when they hit I thought I was dying.

You will feel do much better. I also went awhile before my surgery having no attacks was wondering if I should just cancel then had a grand daddy attack omg. Needless to say it was out and directly post op I finally could breathe and felt so so much better. It honestly wasn't a bad surgery at all.

      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.
