And not only has my weight loss slowed down dramatically (if at all), but I find mysf craving some of the same foods pre-surgery and on occasion going back to old habits...really trying to stay on track but it's been difficult- I keep telling myself this is a LIFE journey and a complete life change....it feels like I have no restrictions now so it makes it harder because I actually feel hungry- anyone else around the same time and/or can relate?

On a positive note, What has been your success? How much weight have you lost? Remember this is a lifestyle change. Perhaps change up your healthy menu. Check out new recipes for low carb low fat.

You may want to go back to eating the things you were after surgery for a week. Like, cottage cheese and applesauce in the morning, cream of chicken Soup for lunch, chicken breast or Italian meatballs at dinner. Eat Greek Yogurt for snack. And of course don't forget your Protein Drinks and bars.

How many calories and how much Protein are you eating a day?

Maybe someone will chime in and let you know if you're eating enough or to much.

Hang in there. Your body is adjusting still. Depending on how much you had to lose in the first place may have something to do with it. We can't see your stats to know more about your situation.

Hang in there!

Sincerely, Sherri

I was sleeved one month prior to you inJuly. I am in the same boat but I make sure to put that dense protien in. I may be hungry but once I put a quarter cup of cottage cheese and chicken my tummy is fine. I have always stayed away from unhealthy slidders. Also Hot Drinks always fill me up. sugar free hot coco with a dab of whip does the trick. Egg drop Soup too is a good filler but I too get hungry like clockwork. Every 2.5 to 3 hours. I eat 6 small amounts a day. That way the hunger is under control.

      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.
