I had my surgery 4 days before you and have had a couple of plateaus. I think it is normal. I need to start exercising and I know that will help. Try not to compare yourself to others! EVERYONE is different.

Welcome!

Mrshull, hang in there. Seems like it's pretty typical for stalls and for us to get discouraged regarding them, but it is only temporary. Keep reading the message board and you will see that many of us went through the same things. It's hard to not get discouraged. Keep on doing what you are suppose to do and the lbs will fall off.

I had and still have problems with going to the bathroom. Someone mentioned Miralax in another thread and it has definitely helped me alot. Best wishes to you on your journey.

      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.
