Then step away from the scale. 6 days is pretty early and if you're bloated then you may still be retaining Water for whatever reason. In the meantime, take your measurements. I'm the odd duck who only gets weighed once a month. I'm just under 4 months and I'm already down 3 -4 inches neck, boobs, waist and hips. I know it's hard but focusing on the scale will just drive you nuts. Do not compare yourself to others, especially men who tend to lose easier than women. As long as yu are following the program the weight will come off. Some of use start fast then slow down, others are slow but steady losers.

I had those same problems and it takes time. I found the sugar free Popsicles were great. I don't love good like I used to but started doing much better once I was soft foods. Things I used to like I just don't any more. The first week is THE hardest. You can do it!

      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.
