I think my ticker is showing my weight loss still. Not as fast as my peers but I am grateful and happy with my progress, so far. I could have never lost this much in such a short amount of time without WLS.

Really try to get 6 meals a day in. It will totally help you feel better. Have you tried Unjury or nectar or Chike. Those are my favorites. I am 3 mis out and now getting about 850 cal a day. That's with 2 shakes a day.

I'm choking down nectar. I have a chike sample I can try, and I haven't tried unjury. That's my plan, increase my meals and 2 shakes a day. The plan is still far from reality, but I have to start somewhere!

One thing I tried was to add orange crystal light to the vanilla one. Tastes like a cream cycle!! You can add things to those shakes to make them better. Some people add those sugar free Torini to them but I never did try it. You will find one that you like hopefully!! The Unjury is pretty good.

Time to check in also. Had surgery 5/20' am down 55 lbs. and feeling great. The only thing I can't eat is Peanut Butter or anything with it in it. Have had all kinds of meats and they don't bother me. Am loving my new life. Hope everyone else is doing well too.

Peanut butter bothers me too as well as chicken. I liked both before surgery though. It is weird how things change as far as food goes. I don't care for sweets anymore either.

      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.
