Can newbie post op participate? Today would be my first and will give me 2 more weigh ins. This is awesome during not just Halloween but through the end of the year with all the holidays.. just my opinion... so not looking to thanksgiving. I do ALL the cooking and then will not be able to enjoy like the past. We have to sacrifice at some points, right??

Wow!! I would love to have that kind of loss 5 months later -- can you give me an idea what you're doing? (cals, carbs, Protein, typical foods, etc.)

Well I've actually been having a lot of complications unfortunately. I had a picc line in to infuse TPN every night to give me enough fluids and nutrients. Last Monday I was admitted to the hospital with a 103.9 fever amd my second blood infection. They removed the picc line and said we will stop the TPN now. I'm getting my gallbladder removed tomorrow (I have stones).

I have been eating around 600-750 calories a day. I drink 2-3 premier Protein shakes a day to get my Protein in. I try to eat 4-6 small meals a day. Some examples of those meals I eat are a yogurt, or 1/2-1 egg and 1-1 1/2 piece of bacon, 2 oz meat (like half a burger, some chicken breast, pork tenderloin, steak) and 1-2 oz veggie or side (spaghetti squash, green Beans, Brussel sprouts, squash, broccoli, cauliflower, potato, or salad).

I cook the meat in different flavors like Mexican, Asian, Italian, anything I'm interested in that night!

I get a lot of recipes from the skinny taste or Emily bites website. I also use weight watcher cookbooks. A lot of them have pretty low calorie recipes that are actually really delicious!

I don't really count my carbs but I do have some throughly the day. I also snack on some popcorn from Trader Joe's (white cheddar baconesque, white cheddar, sour cream and onion) I can only eat half a cup and that's only between 35-40 calories!

      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.
