Congrats. Just remember that the next month is for healing and the weight will slow down. I'm one month post op and I had nearly two weeks where nothing happened at all and I exercise everyday and watch my portions. You have a wonderful attitude. Keep it up

Good job!

Between my pre-op visit when I started my diet plan, and my 2 week follow-up I had lost almost 30 lbs. Since then, the losing rate has slowed down durastically. I'm doing everything by the doctors orders, and I know it will start coming off again soon, but in the mean time I have to remind myself that it just takes persistance and hard work.

Don't be alarmed if when you switch to puree then soft foods if you gain a couple pounds. My first day after puree I gained 4 lbs! It was just Water weight, but your body does go into a little bit of shock each time you step up your diet.

I'm 5 weeks post-op and overall have lost a grand total of 33 lbs since May 7th. On paper, I know I'm ahead of the losing game but my brain can't help but get a little dissapointed when the scale doesn't jump down every day like it was!!

That's where I am at.... down almost 32 pounds but not seeing the scale move at all. I am three weeks post op and doing what I am supposed to be doing.

      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.
