I'm a little discouraged too. My surgery was 8/26/13 and I gained 10 lbs in the hospital ( fluids) I guess. I've only lost 5 lbs. I am getting about 70 g of Protein in a day and drinking about 60 oz, walking 2-3 times a day.

Suggestions would be appreciated.

Don't get discouraged! I lost 9 lbs after surgery In 4 days, then nothing. I was so upset but since last Friday I've lost 6 lbs. My surgery was 8.14. I was talking to some people that said it would come in spurts. One person lost 25 lbs in one month and had been losing it slowly since. It will be long process. We can do it!

I've been told by many to up my calories so your body comes out of starvation mode...so I've gotten the calories up by doing small meals and snacks..doing about 1000 a day

Well im back in the hospital. The pain in abdomen got so severe that I came to the hosp. N they admitted me. They did a CT n it showed abcesses and pockets of Fluid. Plus a UTI.

But this morning after every one prayed. The surgeon said he couldn't find the abcess now. N thinks Mayberry my incision got irritated wen I started moving around. That's all he could think of. So they are running gallbladder test now. N maybe if its good I will go home Tomoro.

      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.
