Im also 2 mos post op. Been on stage 4 over 2 weeks. No weight gain, still losing just a bit slower. Your body is already becoming conditioned to eating less. This is the trial n error stage. Atleast 3 incidents of getting sick and projectile vomiting. Thats a swift kick in the butt to let u know stage 4 or not, pace urself, cant eat that yet, maybe next month. LOL. Just have to keep up the Protein n Water intake. Good luck.

If you eat within defined parameters (calories, carbs, protein) and meet your Water goals, you should not gain weight. In fact, you should continue to lose weight. The surgery is not a magic pill. Now is the time for the tough mental work. Eat what you should, and don't eat what you shouldn't. That's all you have to do.

Good luck!

Just remember Protein first, don't eat and drink at the same time, workout 4 to 5 times a week, track your calories, and drink 64 oz of liquids. You will have weight loss stall on your journey. Do your measurements so when the scale isn't moving you can still see your making progress.

If you stay on track you won't regain the weight.

You got this

      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.
