1 week since surgery....down 10 pounds!



Recommended Posts

Not sure how much people normally lose but I was totally pumped about these 10lb! Wondering how the upcoming weeks (prior to stall of course) usually compare to week one. Anyone care to share their experiences prior to the 3 or 4 week stall?

Great job on the 10 lbs!! I was just under that. I stalled at about 2 1/2 weeks. I realized though, that I wasn't getting enough Protein in. So watch for that and keep your fluids up.

I lost 30 pounds in the first two and one-half weeks. I am now 6 1/2 weeks out. I asked my doctor if this was normal, I was worried that I lost too much, but he said it was fine and that I had a lot of fluids. BUT after the big loss, I stalled for about 2 1/2 weeks and gained a few pounds, I was very discouraged. I weigh and record my weight on Saturdays and this pass Saturday I weighed and lost 4.6 pounds, now the walking is paying off. So the moral of the story is, just hang in there when you stall it will definitely come off. Keep up the good work and good luck!!

      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.
