Nothing today, I am not hungry and I feel if I eat, I will PB. I'm going to the kitchen right now to try and get down a shake. :speechles

I think I'm not hungry b/c I have drank over a half a gallon of Water today for the first time in a long time and it's only 5:06PM EST. :rolleyes

TMI: The water is passing right through me. I'm in the bathroom, literally every 5 - 10 minutes.

Not good right...that I can't make myself drink shakes today? (Still Post op 2 weeks). Am I doing more harm than good?

I'll just pretend that today was purification and detox day if the shake starts to taste gross and I can't finish.

If you're not hungry, you're not hungry. I had days like that 2-3 weeks post op. If you can though, try to get a shake down so that you have some Protein today.

Does anyone else count fiber? I am having trouble getting in 25 grams of fiber per day. Any suggestions?

Have you tried Fiber Choice Orange Fiber Drops? Two drops contain 8 grams of fiber. They taste like orange hard candy.< /p>

I'm usually fine with these foods. I think I was just a bit over-zealous after my fill on Tuesday.

Today wasn't a good day. I'm extremely restricted and felt the golfball feeling even after a few drinks of protein shake or Water. I'm hoping that it's due to the PB yesterday and that tomorrow will be another day. If not, it's back to the doctor for a slight unfill.

      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.
