I'm three and a half weeks post rny. I've lost 39 pounds so far. I haven't cheated once, but I also am having a hard time eating. Today I completely broke down crying because I miss carbs and soda. I've gone almost two months without both and today out of nowhere, it hit me. I know if I tried to cheat I'd probably get sick. I guess it's all head hunger. Now I know why I was overweight in the first place. Not a good day for me.

Congrats on your weight loss!!! You're doing really well. Sorry to hear that you are having a bad day. It does get better. I'm 5 months out and still have my days. Your hormones are all over the place and you will be up and down for awhile. Just keep sipping and get whatever Protein you can in and just keep working at it. Some Protein is better then none at all. I still don't get my recommended amount but I keep trying every day. Keep your was up and it will all work out :)

"nothing tastes as good as skinny feels"

You will be alright, when you start thinking about food find something to keep your mind busy, go for a walk, take a bath, do something.

Also, my therapist said to brush my teeth when I consider cheating, you know how tooth paste makes everything taste ick.

Just think about that number, 39 is a good number, and it'll keep going up. Focus on the positives.

      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.
