Ok friends.. in need of some support,encouragement, and pep talk here! I am 6 weeks and 2 day post op and have lost 28 lbs,with most of the loss being in the first month :lol: . I have already hit about 3 stalls and am getting soo frustrated as onerland has been 1-2 lbs away for the last week or 2! I know that I have not been as deligent on my Water consumption as I previously have( changing that tonight) ,but any suggestions or comments before I throw the scale out the window and feel like I am failing somehow!? Also it seems as if my new tummy has already grown comfortable and I am getting hungrier and seem to be able to eat most foods and meat now, with the exception of cheese, which SCARES THE DAYLIGHTS OUT OF ME! Does it seem to early to you? When should I start on eating salads, as I am missing those sooo much right now? Thank you everyone for sharing your experiences!

Have you been monitoring your measurements as well? Sometimes when you stall on the weight loss you are still "losing" inches as your body re-adjusts. When you start to get down bring out a pair of pants that you used to wear and try them on. That should cheer you up.

      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.
