Everyones menus looks great but I'm still in the large portion frame of mind.

Of course I'm still a newbie but it looks like a lot of menus are very low calorie. Apparently it's been working for you though?

I was told to have between 1000-1200 calories because any lower I would have a hard time losing weight.

Again, everyone here seems to be doing well by your stats.

Any comments appreciated.

thats my experience. i didn't lose much in the beginning, and that was having my calories around 800-900. my daily avg is around 1100.

I LOVE the recipes/snack ideas over at http://www.hungry-girl.com -- plus they keep track of all the cool new stuff that comes out to help those who are trying to lose weight, not be hungry AND -- get this -- be balanced! (I love the idea of Fiber One Toaster Pastries -- and getting enough fiber in my diet has definitely been a challenge! I had to get a prescription for Miralax a/k/a polyethylene glycol to get things moving again) -- has anyone else discovered that website, too? :w00t: :lol:

32 pounds down, 45 more to go to goal!

My doc wants me around 900-1000 calories and i think that's crap lol. i told him straight out that i don't count..and when i start slowing down on my weight loss i'll start. SO i just make sure i eat good portions and make decent choices.

well i've had a bad experience yesterday and today. i think i'm too full..not so much so that anything comes up, but if i sip Water or try to eat i get this extreme burning in my chest and throat. at one point i just starting crying. i didn't end up eating anything i posted yesterday...just two bites of a corn cake...and nothing yet today. SO i called my doc last night and he was nice enough to come in to the office today (they are closed) and i think he had surgery today as well--earlier. i'm going to get this week's fill--unfilled and boy am i happy i have a doc that cares enough to come in so i don't have to suffer until monday.

i'll be happy to post-hopefully-soup later. wish me 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.
