I have two more nutrition classes left and I haven't lost any weight yet. No matter how hard I try, it just doesn't happen for me. What am I doing wrong. I'm scared they are going to tell me that I can't have it.

I didn't lose anything during my 7 months of nutritionist visits. I really, really tried too. My bariatric center only wanted us not to gain. Losing is great, but so many of us struggle so much with that before surgery, hence the reason we are there in the first place. :) Keep on keepin' on. Your time is coming soon.

I don't know if this will help you. But I gave up my 6 diet coke a day habit at the beginning of the medically supervised weight loss program and lost 20 pounds. I knew that giving up caffeine and carbonated beverages was a requirement for surgery. I just did this early and was surprised at the result.

Without knowing what you are doing it is hard to know what you are doing "wrong", if anything.

Are you required to lose a certain amount pre-op?

Are you supposed to be following a particular plan?

Are you tracking your food?

      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.
