Hi all, its been 16 days since surgery and I have lost 10 pounds. I'm trying really hard to not let the scale rule my life, but i'm working on self esteem issues and I still have a love-hate relationship with the scale. I guess I'm looking for reassurance from other sleevers that 10 pounds is good. I only had a 2 day pre-op liquid diet so I didnt have any weightloss right before surg. I have been on mushies for a week now and i'm doing good with Protein and Water. I'm working on the exercise part, I have just been so tired lately. Thanks for any input.

I think 10 lbs is awesome!! Tommorrow is my 6 weeks anniversary but for the first 2 weeks my loss was even with yours.Your body is in shock and it'll even itself out just stick with the program and try to exercise some. I'm not lighting any fires but doing my own thing at my own pace. I believe it'll only get better. :thumbup1: Carla:thumbup:

I think you are doing FINE babe, we all go at different paces and you just can't compare yourself to anyone or anything else - even your own expectations. Stay on the sunny side, focus on your achievements and on developing new awesome habits. Focus on the Water, the Protein, the exercise... and the weight loss will just keep on comin'!

      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.
