So hey guys How is everyone?

SO surgery happened on January 3rd 2012 and As of about 4 days ago Ive lost 30 pounds. I know this is a huge victory but man I feel as if its not good enough. I keep thinking to myself slow weight loss...... slow.... good.. But yeah I dont know if its my excitement or if im just feeling down on myself.. but still 30 pounds in almost 11 weeks? Any body else? How are you guys doing?

How can 30 pounds in 11 weeks not be enough? Most of us would fall down in disbelief if we loat weight that quickly. Enjoy it, because you will most likely slow down after this initial honeymoon phase.

I mean it is enough.. Its enough for everyone around me to see a difference. I guess its because I havent noticed a difference. I have noticed when people tell me im losing weight how it annoys me now..lmao ( I just hope in another month or so Im all like Yay!!!! * le sigh* I guess I just need to see the difference and not everyone else

yeah 30 pounds that fast is great! but i understand how you say you dont see it but others do. i had a hard time seeing it as well, but when i started seeing it in my clothes falling off, seeing the tendons in my feet and other NSV's it became more real. best wishes on your journey

I have been feeling that way lately also, the first part went quickly however just recently i went for my 2nd fill and i had only lost 5lbs in two weeks. Which was a big slow down for me, I hope this 2nd fill jump starts it again :unsure:

But then it took me 29 yrs to put it on so i guess it can't all come off in 8 weeks :D

Just remember when people say they notice a difference there is one even if we can't see it (I swear I don't see any difference in myself, but that is prob cause i look for one everyday)

Hi apreezy1...are you taking pictures to record your weight loss? I had my surgery on Jan 5th and sometimes feel the same as you until I look at my pictures...only then do I see the difference. Remember this is a slow process, it will come off as long as we do what we are supposed to. Keep up the good work!!

      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.
