Everyday I'm worried I did this for nothing. I'm still on full liquids and feel like it's not good enough. I can drink a whole shake at a time and don't feel overly full! I thought I'd be full after a couple of ounces! Arrrgh.
I feel you. I'm almost 4 months post op and I've been in a stall and frustrated for a couple reasons. 1) I have no problem drinking a Protein shake in less then 20 minutes and have been this way since 1 week post-op. 2) I follow the nutritionists guidelines and eat my Protein and calories, consume between 65-80 oz of Water a day and haven't lost anything in 3 weeks.
I am In a Support group through the surgical office and have tried talking to them about it and it just makes me feel worse. I feel worse because people with a lower BMI (mine is currently at 53) have lost more weight in less time and people that had surgery the same week have lost more. When I ask what they are doing compared to what I'm doing I again feel like a failure. Some of the people are 6+months out and still at 300-400 calories a day. At 2 weeks I was told to move to 600-800 calories and at 6week 800-1000 and I tell people that and they are appalled. So I tried going backward in calories - back to 600-800 but I am hungry ALL THE TIME! I try to make good choices but this past week since I haven't lost anything in over 2 weeks I've just given up.
Anyway, just came looking to see if anyone else has any of these issues or thoughts since I'm apparently unique my my face-to-face support group and it discourages me so bad.

March 26th here.

I'm March 19th. This will be the 3rd time I've attempted. Nerves and the thought of not eating whatever I want, whenever I want has me freaking the heck out!! food has become my god essentially.

I'm scheduled for March 3rd too and I feel exactly the same. Even gone as far too think Omg I don't know if I can do this? Which makes me cry because I want it so bad, but I feel like food has control over me :-/

I started my pre-op today. I've had 2 shakes so far. Very gassy and my stomach is making some crazy noises and it's only day 1. What else do I have to look forward to? I'm hungry too

@ I have Synthex-6 vanilla ice cream and also bought almond and cashew milk. i also have chocolate Premier Protein. I have also bought the unjury chicken Soup. I have tried Unjury chocolate and I like that as well. I also would recommend Chike. it is so good. Make sure you buy some PB2 powder to doll up your vanilla and you can also but the SF Torini. I have even covered the basis of Water. I have lemon flavored torini SF to mix in my Water. I love variety so as not to get bored quickly. i start my 2 week diet tomorrow, Today is food funeral.

I am starting my liquid diet on Monday. Not going to lie...pretty nervous... I just hate the idea of being so hungry two week before and after my surgery. BUT I am totally willing to do it if it means I will be a healthier me!! I am so pumped for the surgery!!
