I have to do 2 shakes and one meal 300-400 calories per day. The dietician reccommended sugar free Carnation Instant Breakfast with skim milk and lean cuisines between 300-400 calories. Comes out to about 600 calories per day. I have not been doing so well. Surgery is Monday. I am really going to try to be 100% from now until surgery day. It is just sooo hard. I've been drinking special K2O Water to curb hunger, but sometimes I just want a bite of chicken. To make matters worse, it is that time of the month...Ugh!

August 10th for me!! Not doing so well on pre-op diet though.

I also have not lost much at all. It is, however, due to my anti-depressant that I was on for Postpartum. It hinders weight loss. I am in the process of weaning off of it. I have also been nervous about not losing much. My doc office assures me it's ok. I actually have been adding some protein items into my diet. I have lost more doing that. i don't reccommend it to you since I am not your doctor and I realize that it is considered cheating, but two carnation instant breakfasts and a lean cuisine per day is about 500 calories. That is just ridiculous! I wish my doc would have said for me to do low fat, low carb, high protein. i would have done so much better. Good luck to you. I'm sure everything will be fine. Maybe you are retaining water as well.
