Sorry if someone has already posted about this. But I am into my week 3. I hear that it is a spot where people stall or can be a hard week. I decided not to jump on the scale to not discourage myself. And really focusing on Water intake. But did anyone experience hunger during this week? All of a sudden today I am hungry and craving foods. This is the first time I have really felt like this since surgery. Just wondering how week 3 went for everyone else.

21 days here. I only weigh once a week. It would be impossible for someone who weighs as much as I do NOT to lose FAT on under 700 calories a day no matter what the scale says.

I'm not hungry but today was my first day back at work so I did want to stuff my face a few times. We had a mortality and morbidity conference my first day back. Catered, which in this case was ironic, since the pt was over 600 pounds. I had 1/4 cup unshelled pistachios (took forever to chew to mush) and a bottle of diet snapple but there was Danish..poppyseed AND cheese....

Home now and back to for ing myself to suck down my current favorite th I g... 8oz of 1% milk with a scoop of unflavored Protein powder.

So... the huge hunger I felt probably conditioning. I don't like not getting what I want the second I want it...OH DEAR! That might be why I am fat.

      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.
