Hello everyone!

I had surgery 12/21 and weighed 344 so far as of date I have lost a total of 34 lbs but its 30 overall because for some odd reason I keep gaining 3-4 lbs. I exercise daily for 30 mins or more and just started recently including strength training for toning. I had my first fill 1/21 and he advised I only had a 2.6 cc fill. I have noticed a marked increase in my appetite and of course no weight loss but that pesky 3 lbs ill lose and then gain right back. I weighed 312.2 and by Wednesday Of the next week weighed 315.5. And then ill lose 1 lb then gain 1 lb and so on and so on.

Did anyone encounter a similar problem? Any advise or concerns are welcomed.

Current pre-op wt 344 down 314.4

If you are tracking calories and measuring portions and sticking to 1000 to 1200 calories each day the loss will come... Sometimes the body needs to take time to adjust. Also women will notice during their cycle that we sometimes show a gain so as long as you are doing everything right just hang in there...it will come off.

Best of luck!!

Thank you. Actually I'm doing 1500 calories a day. I never meet the caloric intake. I'm usually below it by 400-700 calories.

I don't have regular cycles and I was really hoping that was the issue. I still get the symptoms without the rest. I'm still holding on. Thank you for responding to my post!!

I found if I dropped below 1000 I wouldn't lose that day... I have no idea why but it seemed to work out that way. Maybe do your best to try to get in at least 1000 and see if that helps. And don't forget the Water....it's very important

      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.
