Hi y'all...

I had a fill a 3 weeks ago and boy can I feel it. I can barley eat anything. Maybe a 1/2 of food and I'm full and I get the hiccups. I drink Water all day long and make good food choices. Here's the thing....I haven't lost a damn pound in 2 weeks. I'm so frustrated and don't understand how this is at all possibe. This is the worst i've felt since I had the surgery 8 months ago. I'm stressing about this day and night. I called my doc and they said they'd like to see me for an apt and if i'm doing eveything I say I am I should be loosing weight. So anyone out there been through this? Why am I not dropping the pounds and what do I need to change? Please help I feel like a failure. :help:

Hi Ryan, Are you tracking your calories? I can honestly tell you I was too tight and didn't lose an ounce of weight because of it. If you don't get in enough calories you won't lose either, your metabolism will shut down. Track your calorie intake on SparkPeople.com or another website if you find it easier. Are you meeting with a nurtionist regularly too? They have lots of suggestions and helpful hints that help us along on our path. You're not alone that's for sure. Others have gone and are going through what you are. Work closely with your surgeon, keep track of your intake and definately see a nutrionist :o Good 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.
