How far out are you? How many calories are you taking in per day? Carbs? Protein? How much Water do you drink per day? Do you track everything you eat and drink? What do you do for exercise?

Sorry for all the questions, but it is hard to give advice without knowing more about what is going on with you and where you are in your journey.

In addition to blizair's questions, it would be helpful to know which bariatric surgical procedure you had. Was it a band, sleeve, bypass or DS?

Also, what was your starting weight on the day of surgery?

Since this is posted in the General Weight Loss forums, we have no way of knowing unless you answer. Good luck to you. :)

GastricBypass

How long ago was the gastric bypass? I'm asking because many people find that, years after a bypass, they are metabolically challenged due to a phenomenon called intestinal adaptation.

Intestinal adaptation occurs when the small intestine adapts to being bypassed. The intestinal section that hasn't been bypassed undergoes adaptations such as villus enlargement, which promotes rapid and efficient calorie absorption. This has two effects: slow weight loss and rapid regain the further out you are.

      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.
