I'm so BLAH! I am normally the most disciplined diet person ever but have been so opposite since the surgery. I find that that things I should eat- like Protein hurt no matter how much I chew and make me puke. So then I find myself eating oatmeal, Soup, chili, etc because I can keep it down. I tried Lean Cuisine and couldnt keep it down. However, I dont feel full. I've also had crazy cravings for sweet stuff. I at least reach for a 100 calorie pack instead of a box of oreos, but either way I dont seem to lose unless i stick to protein and low carb. I lost a ton of weight fast at the beginning because of the liquid diet. I literally lost 20 pounds in 2 weeks. After that, I went to mushies and gained 6! I then had my first fill and lost the 6 plus another 4. That was June. Since then, i've only lost 2 pounds which comes off and on again. Havent dropped another pound. I'm also tall, so 32 pounds is nothing on me. I mean, I have noticed a slight difference, but I thought I would have at least lost 50 by now. I do need to exercise more. Ughh, I guess I am just looking for a pep talk. I am super discouraged.

      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.
