i guess it was a shock to lose 10 lbs in pre oop week and then the rest the following week. Now i am up to losing nothing at all and i am so frustrated. I eat right i excercise. Its putting me back into my depression and i do not want to go back there. Then ill start with chocolate cake and ice cream and all that crap. I have been so good i have used sugar free pudding for those times i need it. Still no lost weight.

How long have you been banded? Are you saying you lost 27 lbs. in two weeks? 10 pre-op and then 17 the next (going by your ticker)?

That is a big loss. If so, I'd not be surprised if you went into a plateau after a loss like that.

If your surgery was just recently, your body is still healing and adjusting. Give it some time. You are doing the right things. Watching your diet and exercising. It will show up eventually.

When I was actively losing, my weight would go down 3 lbs one week, up 1, down 2, stable for 2 weeks, up 1, down 2, stable for 3 weeks, down 3 lbs, up 2 lbs, and on and on. It was never steady losses from week to week. Frustrating yes, but once I realized it was the way my body lost, I was ok with it. And over the course of two years, I was down 70 lbs.

Give yourself a break, and try not to turn to food for comfort.

      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.
