I'm new to this forum, so hi all. I have an issue right now with craving sugary foods. I've lost 90 lbs and I'm on week 9. I've not lost anything for 2 weeks. But gosh I get the munchies! I'm not drinking as much Protein as I need. Does protein have anything to do with this? What's causing this ??

Wow!!! 90 pounds lost in nine weeks!!! I think a two week stall would be considered normal if you have lost that much. Congrats!

Sandy's right, you should be very pleased, but not getting enough Protein could definitely be behind your problems. My office says women should get 60-80 grams a day.

@@SimplySam2015, congratulations at your tremendous progress! I bet you feel so much better already.

Definitely eating more Protein will help you satisfy that hungry feeling and will assist in breaking your stall.

Good luck!

Congrats on your lost wow your doing great it took me almost 9 month to loose that amount, stalls are going to happen they are just apart of the process. I would continue to focus on Protein first then Water, do not forget to exercise when your doctors says its ok but i am sure they will not object to short walks. Good luck.

      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.
