Recommended Posts

I have cravings for foods. But I haven't been hungry yet... really disappointed in no weight loss yet :-(

How are you doing now? Was your BMI low sometimes that plays a part in the weight loss hope u r doing better.

Well 3 weeks post surgery I was down 20 pounds. My bmi was 44 to start with... which I don't think is all that low, but definitely lower then some. I can't wait to get cleared to go to the gym, hopefully the 23rd at my 1 month check up! Feeling really good though. Been adding more and more foods back into my diet. Sometimes the amount I can't eat leaves me short on Protein so still on shakes as well. Switched to regular adult Vitamins as well instead of kids chewables. I've been taking Centrum specialist energy... does wonders! Hope everyone else is doing good! Any complications for anyone yet?

Surgery was June 24th, did the liquid diet for week and then I left for long drive from southern Illinois to chicken, Ak. Found it hard to get Soup at cafés and then the pre made shakes are way to sweet. Now on puréed food and I have learned that to spicy foods really give me heart burn. Go in this Friday to see how I've done. No scales in sight. I do know I went to size 20w to 18w. Oh, and yes if u take those extra two bites u think u want. U will find urself puking. Well at least I did.

I had my surgery on the 25th of June and I am feeling great! I am starting to test out different foods and I have found spicy food is not my friend! I have been craving flavor after eating eggs for about a week straight. Haven't puked yet...thank goodness! Hopefully I can get rid of these next 2 pounds and begin to enjoy ONEderland! It has been so long since I have seen those numbers on a scale!

      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.
