Congratulations, better than I did. I have lost 21 but it includes the 2 wk preop diet. kind of hit a lull this week, haven't lost any in 4 days, but I keep hearing that it is common during the 3rd week.

This is so exciting, only 11 days out and 20 lbs!! It took me four months of intense struggle to lose that much the "old-fashioned" way. What were you eating in those 11 days that helped you so much?

Well done Lillie.... you must be so happy with that! How do you feel in general health wise - is it getting a lot easier now?

Way to go Lillie!!! I've lost 12 lbs since surgery on 5/18. How are you feeling and what phase are you on? i.e. full liquids, mushy, etc.:blush:

That is fabulous!

I'm 5 weeks out and I've only lost 22 lbs since surgery plus the 24 I lost before surgery.

I did do measurements last night and I've lost 24.25 inches since the night before surgery.

Pretty weird.

      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.
