15 days post op and still no weight lost. I go to the gym and work out everyday and I follow the menu plan as best as I can. Should I be concern because I'm feeling like a failure already :(

Don't even worry!!! You are swollen and stitched and all that. My weight loss didn't pick up until I started solids about 4 weeks post op. You are doing just fine...take it easy, continue to follow your doctors rules and the weight loss will come in time. You need to heal.

The first 4-6 weeks post surgery are for healing, not losing. I wouldn't be too worried about it.

If you really want to lose even during the healing phase, start counting calories and keeping your food to a cup or less per meal.

Best wishes.

You are working out already? Wow...good for you... My dr wouldn't let me do exercise for a month.

That said... Are you on solid foods yet? If so are you tracking your calories? Even tho this is a time for healing we still need to be aware of what we eat and drink.

Have you gained anything?

I was on liquid foods from the 8-16th. After that i was put on soft foods but what's the difference between soft and regular diets lol? The sample menus I was given pretty much are the same in my opinion. As far as my exercises im just walking for now... they want me to do 30 minutes but I go for a hour. I feel good and people tell me Im losing but the scale say something totally different

      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.
