My goal was 140 pounds. I am now 121 pounds. Enough already. Doctor says I'm fine. I'm worried. You should see my ribs and hip bones. I wear a size 7 junior and size 2 women's. I weigh 7 pounds less than high school weight.

@@SWEETTEA Congrats on your loss. If you are concerned about losing too much - you could try upping your calorie intake (slowly so you can see where you'd be to maintain). I'm still pre-surgery but I get where you are coming from with not wanting to lose too much.

I know it's strange to come on a WLS site and complain about losing to much, but it's all part of it. Unfortunately, it seems I'm only getting 600-800 calories a day. This is including Protein Drinks, which I can't get the whole thing down. I'm only able to eat tiny portions before throwing up. All I want to do is maintain, NOT lose anymore.

As I said Doctor says I'm fine. I've had an endoscopy.

I'm not hungry. I try to eat multiple times a day. I've lost interest is most carbs. Most of them hurt my stomach (Breads, rices, potatoes). Sweets don't really appeal to me. All except my altoids, which I'm addicted to lately.

Mine either! Whenever I read a post like this it gives me hope that I actually can be a thin person, not just a less fat person LOL

Sweet tea.... I know you are in the sleeve forums, but just wanted to check....you had a sleeve, not RNY? What was your starting weight or BMI, if you don't mind my asking?

Just wondering bc I am losing sleep trying to decide between the sleeve and RNY....

Thanks!

      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.
