Ok so get this. Estrogen is stored in fat so as we lose the weight the estrogen is released into are system. Ohh science rocks! I did get the sweats when I was on the hcg diet and I lost weight this quickly too.

I'm exactly the same. I can eat 4 oz of any of my allowed foods(because I measure that much out) and I never get full. Pretty sure I could eat at least double. I get 80 oz of Water in a day too and can gulp it down after a workout with no problem HW(9/3/13)- 284' date=' DOS(9/11/13)-270, CW-259(9/20/13), GW-155(by 9/21/14...my 26th birthday!)[/quote']

I ate again today and still don't get any type of full sensation. I am portioning my food so that I am not over-eating. Also, I drink and drink and also don't get a "full" sensation. So it sounds like you and I are in the same boat and our stats are almost exact, that is a bit crazy.

Ok. So yesterday my back started getting sore. I went back to work and it was annoying and worse on inspiration but not bad. Came home 7 am and took some pain meds and went to bed. Woke up two hours later in extreme pain thats sharp in my back. I call my surgeons office with this rude PA who tells me its gas pain. Really? Gas pain that shows up a whole week later?? How is that since the gas should be completely out if my body three days post surgery.

I have a terrible back pain going on for the second day as well. I can't figure it out. I took Tylenol and it helps, but not sure why I have it. It is in my back on the left-side slightly higher than my kidneys. I have a had time believing it would be gas as well. I am 8-days post op. Surgery 09/16/13.

Im home from the hospital it was a good stay and excellent team of doctors at Cottage Hospital. They gave me Decaf tea, a Protein Drink and broth while I was there. Today I start on full liquids for 2 weeks and all sugar free items. Exercise as tolorable, and I am in a bit of pain still and still have some gas pains. Thank goodness for no other symptoms such as heart burn and nausua. Started on chewable vitamins today they are kinda tastey from Celebrate.< /p>

      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.
