Congratulations, Staci. Yes, your weight loss will slow down, but that's normal. Even if you haven't consumed much since you were banded, probably a lot of your loss is Water. Still, every pound helps. And what a great way to start the new year!

When do you move onto mushy foods? That will help take care of your hunger.

Staci, fifteen pounds gets you a big high five! Good going. The loss will slow down, but if you work hard and really really really practice your new eating habits, the loss will be consistent. Good luck!

Instant mashed potatoes, guacamole, and hummus helped get me through mushies. Check out the food forum (go to "Forum Jump" at the bottom of the web page) for some other suggestions. The good news, Staci, is that the return of your appetite means your body is recovering nicely from the surgery!

      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.
