Recommended Posts

Hey hey!! 198lbs! I am so happy, since I started tracking my weight and dieting for this op and after I have now lost 53lbs, currently losing 2lb average a week and not feeling hungry. I can walk without pain, exercise and I feel that my life is coming back to me. The VSG is a fantasic procedure. :thumbup:

Hi all,

Thanks for the congrats and hang in there VegasAngel, the scales are a bit sadistic and they do this to torture you. You will suddenly lose a whole load in a week or sos time. Its never predicable.

Hey I know the feeling, that first stall is a bummer, I only lost about .5 this week myself and nothing last week but hey, I am not gaining either. We will get there eventually.

I am grateful for the fact that I haven't gained ... and I know from reading that everyone hits stalls ... Bearded on the other hand is going like a steam roller and is going to roll right on past me in another 4 lbs and he's only 2 weeks out as of Saturday and hasn't exactly been sticking to the full liquids diet. I keep telling myself it isn't a sprint, but a marathon and I'll get to the finish line in due time. Still is frustrating ... why is it men lose so much faster than women!!

Congratulations Jane! That is AWESOME! Getting into Onederland is always a wonderful milestone. Something psychological about a number. In my previous diets I always seem to stall around 201-202. It is like my body knows and just won't let me get there without some extra work (and patience). Hang in there Vegas! It will happen.:thumbup:

I am so thrilled for you! Good job. For me to make "onederland" would probably require the amputation of one or both legs, so I think I will pass. But I am looking forward to entering "twofer" land!

I'm hanging in there -- at least I didn't gain anything in the past week - just stayed the same for 7 days ...

Jane is right. You will stall for awhile and then lose a bunch at once. The only thing reliable about our bodies and losing weight is that it will be unreliable.

      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.
