I feel like I am doing something wrong!! I was sleeved on Feb 14 and the scale has slowed down to a very slow crawl!! I even gained 1/2 pound at one point. I know I should be happy with the 25 pounds I have lost (includes pre-op diet) but I just feel like I should be losing more than I am. Is this normal??? Will it get better once I start the "mushy' food stage?

Hello, I was sleeved before you, I have "only" lost 22 lbs, but seriously, do you really want to lose all your weight altogether? The slower the better, your skin has time to adjust and you won't have it hanging around so much...

Do you weigh yourself ever single day? I used to do the same, then my hubby decided to hide the scale and take it out only on the weekend. Flucutations are normal, it can be the fact that you are (probably) not going much to the bathroom, or who knows whatever! Your body is adjusting to all the news (as is mine) so don't worry too much! And 25 lbs are already a lot. Give yourself time!

YOU ARE SO RIGHT!! I should be thankful that I am finally on my journey and I don't have to lose all the weight in a month! I need to change my way of thinking -- the scale is going down and not up - thats a good thing!!!

Its so funny because my husband hid the scale from me!! He says I am being a little obsessive - which I agree!! I am going to weight only 1x per week. Thanks for encouragement!!

      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.
