8 weeks post-op today and I'm down 55 lbs! I was able to jog on the treadmill and didn't feel tired. ...major accomplishment. There are other small things that I've noticed but most of all I FEEL GOOD!

I hit my first big goal today: I am no longer in the 300s!!! As of today I saw a 2 on that scale for the first time in a long time! This only encourages me to keep going. Nothing beats this feeling of reaching a goal!

Next goal: lose 29 more pounds and it will be a full 100 pound loss from my highest weight!

Hi all I'm new here had my surgery 6//18/13. I'm down 41 lbs. I'm having a hard time finding a food plan. I still rely on Protein Shakes for most of my intake. I tolerate an egg ok. Maybe a teaspoon of tuna. But it seems like if I eat early in the day I never get my Fluid in.

This has left me feeling blah. No energy = no exercise. Which I so desperately need to start. Any helpful ideas?

I actually start the day with fluids. I have 1/2 a Protein Shake and a bottle of Propel. I don't actually eat my Breakfast, which is usually Greek Yogurt, until mid-morning. Then 30 minutes after I finish the yogurt, I begin drinking Water. My day also ends with fluids, I finish the Protein shake, and drink more water. I also find that working out helps because it makes you thirsty. By the way, I use Premiere Protein shakes. They have 30 grams of protein and are sold only at Cosco and Sam's Club. I hope this helps - Good luck and keep trying!!

Yes this helps. I was feeling like I needed to rely on food. And cut back my shakes. But I just can't to that yet. For now I'll stick to whats working.

      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.
