I am interested to see what others have to say. I am having the same problem. I can't eat or drink all day and then I have about a 2 hour window where I can get soft stuff in me. I try to get my liquids down and some food. Sometimes I feel like giving up.

Way way way too tight.

There is no long term success to be had in starving all day and then eating at night. Your body will let go of weight, sure, because calories in/calories out is what matters the most. But you're not getting proper nutrition and you'll lose a lot of muscle weight and not as much fat as if you ate properly.

See, I am always like this. It takes 2 or 3 weeks after a fill before I can start eating again. This is the period where I start losing weight. It seems that I only loose weight when I am eating real food. This lasts for about 2 weeks and then I start to gain back what I lost so I get another fill.

At this point I really don't want to get another fill again, ever. I am just starting to be able to add some solids to my Soup so the scale has started moving ever so slowly this week. But I know that once the scale stops moving I will probably be picking up the phone and making a fill appointment.

I thought I would have lost more than what I have lost in this amount of time. This has been very hard. My life never revolved around food but now it seems that just being able to get liquids and such in me makes my life revolve around food.

      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.
