Hi, I am almost 8 months out, down 164 pounds. 338-174. I work as a manager of a fast food restaurant. This week, Tuesday I was moved from a slow low volume store to a very busy hectic store. I thought I was doing pretty well at the slow store, but moving to this busy store I lost 3 pounds in just a few days. I try to eat something on my way to work because its an hour drive. I usually eat a slice of ham and cheese for the Protein. But once I get to work its too busy, too hectic to even think about trying to get a little bite of food in or drink. I work a 10 hour shift too. When I get off work I grab a price of grilled chicken and usually eat about half of that on my way hone. I know I've got to find some way to eat a little more somehow.

You are doing great to be able to work at a fast food restaurant and stay so disciplined. I know that must be super hard. sounds like you are prepared and that is the hardest part. Just add a few more planned meals into you day and that will bump you up a little to more food. Great job on your wl success!

Hi! Wow you have done amazing! Is it possible for you to fix something for yourself at the restaurant and put it to the side? Then it will be ready for you whenever you get a break? I used to work at a very busy retail store as a manager, and it was virtually impossible to get a planned break/lunch because you are constantly covering for other people, but maybe if you already had something prepared and ready to grab it could be easier? Even if you brought your own cooler (small construction worker cooler) you can grab and go. I have started shopping (food) for work and keep everything in a soft cooler in the fridge at work. That way I can just pick and choose/grab and go.

      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.
