I just had my surgery on the 16th of Jan. It took me 8 months to lose my 10 lbs before surgery, and 8 lbs on my 2week liquid. I was wondering if anyone else is having any problems not wanting to eat?!?!? I never thought I would be fighting to finish 1 Protein Shake in an entire day!!! I feel like I am drinking all day and and not even at 30oz Water and 8oz Protein. Does anybody have any ideas??? or the same struggles??

Hi and congrats! I had my surgery on 12/3/13 and till this day I still struggle to eat. Even though it's not a good thing but sometimes with life begins so busy I forget to eat sometimes. Its hard but I found that My fitness Pal helps me with reminder and log everything. If you can't finish it don't save it and start again in 1 a hour. I've learned to listen to your body when it tells you no more than it's no more.

Well your surgery is still fresh. My doc kept me on Clear Liquids first 10 days post op. If you puke early you can get a leak so don't push. Water is he only importance right now for you. I am 14 days post op and he added cream Soup 4 days ago. In 4 days I have tried it twice. Our taste and want have changed but enjoy it because we will not feel like this forever and should take advantage of the rapid weight loss

I had my surgery on Dec 30th and still unable to get all the Protein and liquids in. Sounds like a common thing.

      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.
