I wrote earlier today because my weight loss seems so slow. I'm down 32 lbs. if you count my 7 lbs. that I lost on the 2 day pre-op liquid diet. Anyway, I decided to try on some clothing which I haven't worn since before surgery. Surprisingly, a lot if it is too big now. That made me want to take a new photo wearing my same pre-op clothes. Here it is. I'm happy with the improvement so far. I need to not worry about the scale so much!

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 do a similar plan ( for now) as baconville. solid food is s l o w l y.... being worked into my routine. call me sick but i like the protien shakes snd yougurt. i do encourage you too walk even if you have little energy now.

exercise = energy

basic physics" a body at rest will stay at rest, a body in motion will stay in motion" ...or something like that :-)

Trust me, i know it tough, my biggest battles are with the old me. the old me mants to sit around watching tv or some crap like that. the new me has to mentally jump the old me beat the crap out of him and drag his big ass out for a walk :-) .......the new me is fearless. and kicks ass.

have a great day. its a beautiful day here in Philly come out for a walk.

I am working so hard to get my Protein amounts up. I think the most I have done is 55. I am so sick of Protein Shakes and things that are sweet!

I am stalling right now so I know I have to get those numbers up.

Question for the Junies: I do much better with food that is a little spicy-Mexican spicy- than with blander food, is that weird?

Me too! I thought I was just being strange but I realized that I'm enjoying spicy food more that I did presurgery. And I've had a few stuck episodes recently but I never get stuck with food that has a kick. I wonder why that is?

      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.
