Weighed this morning and I'm down 32lbs total and 19 lbs since surgery. Not sure if this is average but loosing 3/4 of a pound a day since surgery is good to me!!

Sounds good to me! I am at 34 pounds loss and I am 5 weeks out.

Thanks for the ideas. I do have the unflavored Protein powder. I have added it to a few things I think it's a mental thing, but I have a difficult time drinking it. I saw the G3, and I wondered if it were too many carbs. I will give it a try. As far as shakes, I am trying to finish the GNC lean shakes that I have before purchasing more. I am sick of them, due to the sweetness.

I am sure I will get there! It just may take some time.

.

To many carbs for one sitting , but i spread mine over the entire work day, it is 2 servings

I'm three weeks out tomorrow. food goes down great - no trouble at all except one time when I ate Pop chips like an idiot. Won't be doing that ever again. I'm on regular food. My issue is liquids. I drank tons of Water and Protein shakes and Crystal Light before surgery, and now the only liquid that goes down without nausea is tea. I'm really disappointed that the shakes are making me nauseous. I also struggle when I take my meds. Anyone else having issues with liquids and not food?

      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.
