okay' date=' i am at a stall with my weight loss already for the past 3 days I have not lost anything is this normal? I am 3 weeks out today? anybody else experience this? I am getting frustrated please help me[/quote']

Have faith, beachlover, my stall hit me between weeks 2-3 as well. Just hang in there & continue to meet your Fluid, calorie, & Protein levels & the scale will start moving again soon. I tried to focus on the fact that I could feel the difference in my clothes & just in my general well-being so in spite of the scale's lack of cooperation, I KNEW something good was happening!!

I'm doing great. I haven't had any problems with eggs, but I use eggbeaters, not real eggs. I do find beef "heavy" and stick to chicken & fish mostly. Other than that, I'm feeling fantastic.

I was put on "regular" foods today, I am 4 weeks out and down 24 lbs. Only 2.8 more to go to be under 300. I will NEVER see another 3 in front of my weight!!!! I have also been able to tolerate eggs. I have noticed that it takes me a little more to be full than what I hear people talk about. Tonite I ate a turkey, cheese, "foldover" sandwich and could eat the whole half with a couple of crackers. Thats seems to be alot doesn't it? But all I had to eat today was a slimfast shake and 3 oz of tunafish. and I exercised 45 mins in the pool. so maybe my stomach was just extremely empty. H

Congrats on the loss!! Doesn't it feel Wonderful! I have not eaten any bread or crackers yet...I'm just having a time getting my protien and Water in. I find that if I eat seafood..shrimp, crawfish, especially crab I can eat a lot more than say chicken or beef...it just seems to go down easier for me...or it could just be the Cajun in me...lol I also read your post above about stalling in week three, I also stalled in week 3/4... But I just hung in there even though it was discouraging but now I'm feeling great and loosing each week! Keep up the food work!

I just seen this thread and like a couple others I'm being sleeved by Dr. Borland in New Iberia on July 25! Only 20 days left, I'm so excited!!

I actually live in Ga but my bestie lives in Abbeville and will be taking care of me and I'll b stayin a month so I don't have to drive home and come back right away for my 1mo. Check up. Besides that's too much driving right after surgery anyway.

Does anybody who saw Dr. Chu remember if she did a cardiac clearance? And, if so, was it done in her office?

      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.
