Johnnycakes, I don't eat those but have attempted to eat them once maybe twice just to get any food down due to the achalasia. We have days we can't get Water down. I was merely using those as examples that me and someone else on this site suffer with on top of the bariatric surgery. low cal yogurt, Water, Protein Shakes, watermelon, are terribly difficult. I was using it as consistency examples. but thanks for the sarcasm.

oh, you must have misunderstood me. there was no sarcasm intended.

Jonnycakes!!!! what the heck is wrong with me? I know it sounds strange that I've dwelled on this, and yes, I should focus on having more a of a life, rather than dwelling on a random comment from a stranger!!! I read another post on this site where a guy got completely reamed for his very honest and sincere post that an entire group of people took out of context. When did we all get so sensitive? Ridiculous!

So I'd like to apologize for my slight snarky response. I hope you are a great day.

Update: Those dam stalls are terrible. Knowing they can hang on for a month or better sucks. But they don't last forever. I've been losing, just slower than I hoped for. I walk 2 to 3 miles daily and it does bother me that the weight is coming off slowly, but looking back it's clear that it's at least going in the right direction.

I finally fell into the one-derland mark at 197 last week. I haven't been under 200 pounds in over 20 years.

So for anyone that is stalling, be patient. The surgery will work and give you the result you hope for. Just don't give up. Don't compare yourself to others out here either. Hang in there.

      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.
