Evening all. I could do with some help. I've reached restriction and I'm struggling to eat sensibly. Most days I have snack a jack rice cakes, salad, hot choc/tea sometimes muller rice. I'm finding a lot of food just won't go down. Am I going to lose weight eating this little? I don't really feel hungry ever, I also don't drink any Water other then in tea. The scale hasn't moved for 3 weeks even though I can see my body changing. It's surprising to see how much my wedding dress has been bought in from fitting to fitting! Final fitting done now. Getting married next week! I really wanted to loose another 10 lbs to put me at 18st but I just can't shift it. I'm 12 weeks banded. Help! Dress photos show 3 weeks ago and yesterday! Xx

I'm no expert, but when I read that you can only get just a few different types of food down, I read this as having a little too much restriction. You should still be able to eat most of your Proteins, like eggs, chicken, Beans, fish. Too few calories can cause people to plateau. I don't know, this was just a thought !

You need Protein darling. Otherwise you are starving yourself. Talk to your doctor. You don't want to be sick so close to the wedding.

Quantity doesn't matter to us, quality does and from the list you've described you should have any of this stuff at this stage of the game anyway. What about your Protein? Rice (carbs), rice cakes (carbs), salad (no nutritional value alone, lettuce leaves) all can swell and or go down too large to pass through. Rapid weight loss won't hurt you, but if you aren't getting the proper nutrition your body will eventually respond in kind. You can expect to feel weak, suffer from hair loss, brittle nails, poor skin quality and the elasticity in your skin will also suffer. Until you can adopt better food choices, you should show diligence in taking your Vitamins and supplements.

      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.
