Hey sorry was off here for a few days...I am doing pretty good...yesterday (day 5) was my first day to get 80g Protein and 8 cups of Fluid. I feel full all day long and feel like I am living to drink (like an alcoholic haha) How are things going for you?? I have one more week of Clear Liquids but I found a concoction of a new choc Protein Powder w/30 g and PB2 Peanut Butter so I get 35g in one cup of Protein Shake so I can just do crystal light and Water the rest of the day with 1/2 cup of Jello w/protein. I am exercising now 20 mins a day I hope to do 30 today.

That's awesome...down 12 is good. I give it to you going back to work so soon. I could probably do most of my work but we do a lot of lifting. So I took the whole 6 weeks figured it would help me get into an exercise routine so I don't fall off so easy while at work. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHERE I AM COME SUMMER TIME!!! wow just the thought of it. It feels weird like I really didn't have the surgery but I know I did. I know crazy huh!

Hey!!! Sorry first my computer went down then my Internet. The phone app is not as food as the ipad. All is going well, I too am in a stall only 2 lbs lost in the last two weeks. I talked to the dietician yesterday and she said she thinks I am taking in too few calories ugh...but I don't feel like I can consume any more ugh...but I start puréed foods Wednesday (tues night lol) and she said that it should break it and I will start losing again. I am down 15 since surgery. I am glad work is going well...two more weeks and I go back. I hope to be 220 by the time I go back. Are you getting all 8 cups of Water? I get 6

      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.
