Down 29.2 since surgery and 48.4 since pre-op. I'm actually having a slow loss right now I'm down 2.6 pounds total in the last 9 days grrrrr but I'm having a hard time with food right now. I have no desire whatsoever to eat and although I'm forcing myself to eat it's not enough and I think it's causing a slow loss [emoji22]

On a positive note I'm fitting in clothes that I haven't fit in for a long time so Woohooo there.

Positive - congrats on the weight loss and thanks for the 6 week questions and answers

Hey guys!

I hope everyone has a great Easter tomorrow. I hope everyone is doing well. The weight loss posted in the last few posts are awesome! Keep up the good work!

I have to say that I have been really frustrated with food and eating the last couple of days. My doctor wants me to strictly stick to just Protein until I've lost 60% of what I need to lose. I don't eat pork or red meat, so I am sick of what I've been eating. I want some veggies!!! I even picked up a cookie today, was gonna eat it, then put it back. I was proud of myself. I am really scared about all of the deliciousness that I will encounter tomorrow. I would love it if anyone could talk me off the ledge that I'm on. Uggggg!

Congrats on not eating the cookie:)

I like that strategy and I may even try it for a few days lol! I'm so done with the shakes... I need a little variety.

Yayyyy for will power - I agree food is not very exciting these days. Not only do I have no desire to eat, I think I'm food bored - it's so funny the things I come up with to eat that seem different and yummy but actually aren't - the other day I was craving hot wings and blue cheese, so I took a can of chicken and mixed it with Frank's hot sauce and blue cheese [emoji15] maybe I'm losing it mentally because I thought it was delicious, then I asked my spouse to taste it and the response was ewww lol. One thing I have tried is mixing or changing my food options each week. This week I'm going to ground some beef and make imaginary tacos, hopefully that will be sufficient to my tummy.

What's a day of food been for you guys? I did Protein latte for Breakfast and then a boiled egg a few hours later, then an oz or 2 of cheese and since I hated food last week I would end my day with a shake. I know it's possible to get my protein in without shakes because I have done it, so hopefully she my sleeve will cooperate this week because I'm so tired of wasting food[emoji849] and hopeful the scale will move this week because it would not budge last week, which is so frustrating

Happy Easter to those of you that Celebrate Easter and Happy Sunday to those that do not [emoji16]

Happy Resurrection Sunday to you and all of our 2/9 Team. I just read your post on the way to church and agree with you. Food does not have the same meaning as it did in the past, which is a good thing.

For me I'm working out a lot and I look forward to my morning weigh-in. A few ounces a day keeps me focused and on track. I go back and fourth between starting the liquids again until I hit 70% of my weight loss, but it's not realistic for me right now. I'm enjoying eating, logging, then exercising to burn off what I ate that day lol!

      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.
