Hi everyone! it’s been 9 days since my surgery. I’ve lost 14lbs. I’ve steadily lost every day except for yesterday, not sure why? Wondering if anyone is struggling with the liquid diet for >> cause I REALLY want to eat! What if I do? Will it mess me up?

Don’t mind the scale, you sill continue to lose weight.. and stick to your post-surgery diet plan, i guess you are into 2 weeks liquid diet? . You are not hungry, that is just head hunger..personally I took me a couple of months to meet my 48 oz Water intake, but it gets better every day. Now at my 9th month I can drink 64 oz per day, I would suggest to stick to your liquid diet, if you are missing the fact that you are no longer chewing your food, try popsicles, or Jello (check with your Doctor first). In my case jello and popsicles was part of liquid diet.. best of luck and stay strong..

Back2fit — THANK YOU!!! Yes I am 1week and 2days into my liquids only phase, 6 more days to go!!!
“Head hunger” Totally makes sense and is seriously what I needed to hear to help me get through the desire to want to eat! And yes, Jello is on the menu for liquid diet phase!
Thanks again

      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.
