Hi...... I am only just over a week post op, I have still not got my appetite back at all... this could be a good thing.. BUT my weight appears to have stopped going down and i think it may be because i'm not eating enough calories.......... has anyone else found this??

I've lost 12lb since surgery but the scales havent moved for the last 3 days... I just want to do well and I get so full from drinking Water I cn go all day without eating.....

I will be a week post op tomorrow and I also find that my appetite is not so big. Although some points of the day I start getting really hungry but that eventually goes away. I also have a hard time getting enough calories in because I don't have that much of an appetite. So i'm right there with you.

I have an appetite but physically can't get the liquids in... I am 5 days out. I don't seem to have enough hours in the day to get them in now. But the cooking smells from the kitchen as hubby and daughter cook various things smell delicious. I just have to be strong and stay strong, however the hunger pangs do go after a while so I am just keeping on going.

I'm 6 days post opt and yesterday was the 1st day I was able to get in all 8 glasses of Water. I have not been able to go over 500 calories a day. (I log every single thing into thedailyplate.com). I wonder how many calories we are to be getting in this phase? :unsure:

      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.
