Sometimes eating a high calorie meal will trick your body into something funky. It's happened to me. I had been stuck for a few wks. Then I said heck with it and ate some Pasta from market place and did my same gym routine and kicked some lbs the next day. I doubt that's probably the best way but it works

I use the My fitness pal app to track everything that goes in my mouth. It can be very enlightening. If your calories are too low sometimes increasing them by 100-200 helps. Also, changing up your exercise can help. I also find drinking more fluids helps.

If you can use the my fitness pal app. It's free and sometimes it can be an eye opener.

Thanks! I will start using it for sure :) Do you know how many calories one should have approximately. The Fluid thing makes sense as I struggled the last two weeks getting enough in. I am heading to my fitness pal now to sign up. Thanks again!

I'm sure every surgeon has their own guidelines but mine says 800-900cal a day. Trying to make 60-80grams Protein and 64oz Water. Hope this helps.

When I saw the dietician 3 weeks post op, I asked about calories too. She said about 800-1000. I'm 9 weeks out and am just making it to a little over 700. I eat 6 small meals no more then 4 oz per meal. This is what my surgeon recommends. Also 60-80 gm of Protein per day. I still do 1 Protein Shake per day. I'm rarely hungry and my energy is good.

      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.
