Unfortunately, you didn't include a lot of information in your post. What kind of WLS did you have? What is your Protein and Fluid intake? Are you over eating or eating the wrong things? What about exercise? I would call your surgeon/Dr. and discuss your best options. Hopefully, they can give you better ideas as they know you better than I do. Good luck to you and keep us informed.

When I feel like my weight loss is slowing down, I go back to my post-op diet. 1 week full liquids (no more than 4 ounces of any liquid in one sitting, no chunks), 3 weeks of purees (1/4 cup per meal, no more than every 3 hours), soft solids for 3 weeks (again, no more than 1/4 cup), and then onto regular solids in a reduced portion size. No oils, mayo, butter, full fat cheeses, sugar, starchy vegetables, bread, rice, Pasta or wheat.

If you feel your problem is that you can't stop yourself from eating certain foods or large portions, it might be good to find a therapist who deals with overeating and binge eating. I know I couldn't be as successful as I am without my therapist!

The question that I have is why she is a year out and the surgeon didn't do something before now.

      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.
