I am not as low weight as you guys but I knew I would lose slowly. I had surgery on Halloween. I think I had Soup twice, how do you have room for Soup? I sip Water all day long and my surgeon has fussed at me for not getting the Protein in. Two shakes a day, Water, and maybe a few bites of Jello or yogurt is all my sleeve has room for.

Get your water and your Protein in, all other eating for the first 5 or 6 weeks is for "fun" according to my surgeon.

My first six weeks after surgery I did not count calories(a year ago) . During the first six weeks I counted only Protein and Water. I followed the clinic and nutrition plan to a T.... It gets easier I promise. Those few weeks were the hardest so don't give up. You will wake up one day , weigh and be shocked at how much you lost. Take photos at different stages . I didn't because I hated looking at myself. My friend had my pic to remind me and show me how much I had lost and the changes.. I am so glad Bc it really helped me see the change.

I started using the calorie tracker for the first time yesterday and realized I was not getting my calories in. I was eating an average of 360 calories. I made myself get to 536 and and 63 grams of Protein in and exercised. I just weighed and lost a pound. It works when you eat. I mainly ate meat and cheese. Had my Protein shake for Breakfast, 3 shrimp and one bite of squash for lunch, 2 more shrimp later as a snack, and I had to stay up late to force my self to eat a slice of deli meat, a slice of cheese, piece of salami and 2 tablespoons of a cheese log

I am 4'11" and weighed 197 at surgery date of 10/20/16. I am now 175 but I haven't been recording anything I eat or drink. What are you all using to record what you ingest? Thanks!

On my surgery day 11/17 I weighed 207, the first week and a half I lost 15 pounds. I stayed 192 for 4 long weeks!!! Talk about being discouraged. I finally started to lose again. My current weight is 186.

      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.
