Recommended Posts

Hi all, I am a constant worrier and last week was hard because the scale hadn't budged. Well this morning, it finally did!! I am down 13 pounds in 4 weeks. I finally feel like I have my portions under control and am learning what my sleeve does for me. I went swimming with my girls and husband this past weekend which felt wonderful and I have been getting in my walks. I feel like my pity party is over and I can get moving on losing more and weight. Thank you everyone for all of your support. I'm a new poster but everyone has been very supportive and I appreciate that.

Well done Shelley for hanging in there!! Keep up the great work and I'm sure it'll all be downhill on the weight front from here.

Stalls happen and they are natural because the body needs time to adjust to the changes. I stalled out my entire 4th week but it's moving again. Just remember that STRESS makes it harder to lose weight so just try not to stress when stalls happen :001_wub: Just remember they are natural and normal, and nothing is wrong. If a stall lasts more than 2 weeks then it's time to shake things up and try to get it moving but anything up to 2 weeks just let the body do it's thing and focus your attention on something else like trying some new activities, some new recipes, etc. :thumbup:

you're doing really well, newmommy. you should be proud of every pound that has fallen off and don't worry, as soon as you can and feel like getting more active it will come off even quicker.

      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.
