I am 6.5 weeks post op and have lost 53 lbs. However, every 10th pound is hell to loose. Once I hit the 10th pound mark, it takes about 1 week for the scale to start going down again. I was wondering if anyone else had problems like this?!

Problem? ? ? You've dropped 53 pounds in 45 days. No problem there at all. Don't fret on how it falls it off, it's falling off ! ! !

Unless, I'm reading it wrong, I think you're doing amazing, and your body is doing it's own thing. We all lose so differently, but I don't think there is a problem.

Think of it this way: You're losing 1.2 per day average. THAT IS SO AWESOME ! ! !

Geez, I wish my stalls were that short. I've been losing 5-10 pounds quickly and then stalling for 2-3 weeks! I've been losing about 10 pounds a month now for 3 months. Larger loss at the beginning, but it's still coming off. You're doing great!

      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.
