Yes the hunger almost disappears after day 3 or 4. Are you allowed berries? I was and the frozen ones blended in an Optifast shake are yummy as is a shot of espresso in a vanilla shake. Enjoy

I used to blitz a chocolate shake with a coffee shot and crushed ice to make an iced mocha. Great for if you need a bit of substance.

Kelli, doesn't it seem like such a long time ago? The last 6 months have just flown!!!

Hi everyone, I'm 2 weeks post op now & feeling really good! Was just wondering how much weight on average everyone lost each week in the first month or two?

Hi Angiep I am almost 3 weeks post op ( 5Feb) & have lost 9 kilos but I didn't have to do the pre op diet. Can drink smoothies juices etc but when it comes to eating Mushie foods I can only eat a couple of spons & feel sick & full. How are you going?

Yes it certainly has gone fast but everyday is still a learning experience.

It varies from person to person so it's best to get use to not comparing your results to others even though it feels natural to do so. Some lose quicker or have more to lose than others. Stick to your own plan and you will succeed.

Hi Kazza Wa! You're doing great! 9kg is an awesome loss! Since surgery I have lost 3.6kg. Actually got on the scales today and it looks like I've gained 500gms! It's probably nothing, but I was a bit disappointed when I saw it. Like you, I find liquids easy but purées seem a bit difficult. eggs really seem to give me a bit of pain, so trying to steer clear of them even though I love them!!

I'm 6 months out and still have trouble with eggs, especially the yolks.

I love eggs but have struggled to eat them since my op, especially scrambled for some reason.

Finally!! 8 days to go but after an ultrasound on Saturday indicated my kidneys were blocked my doctor wants me to have a CAT scan tomorrow - just to be sure. Oh please let them be okay!!! I've never had kidney problems, don't have pain so hopefully there's nothing wrong.

Hi Angiep, if its any consolation I have put on 500 gr today too have not lost anything for a few days. As for eggs I sometimes add one to a smoothie as I am worried about my protien but can't eat a scrambled egg, saw recipe for a soft billed egg with cottage cheese & mayo so might try that.

BizzyLizzy hope all will be ok fingers crossed for you.

I was allowed any berries but no other fruit. It just adds that bit of variety during pre op stage

Thanks Kazza Wa, I'm just a stress head! Got on the scales this morning and had lost the 500g plus another 300, so 800g loss today! I'm at 102kg so I've lost 11.9kg since the start of my preop 4 weeks ago.
