Help I am 7 days post op and on full liquids. I have been following it to the letter. My problem, I haven't lost one pound! I am soooooo discouraged I don't know what to do. My nut says I'm doing everything right. I walk 3 times a day and nothing. Anybody else have this problem? PLease tell me I'm not alone.

Nope, you're not alone! There's plenty of company around you. I hit a stall on my 2 week and just now this morning lost a lb for the first time in a month long stall!!! Hang in there and don't get discouraged. I found that not getting on the scales each morning was a bit mental help. I would weigh only on my anniversary day of the surgery each week. Like everyone said when I posted in a panic weeks ago, my body is in a state of shock and will have to have time to recover from it. Once it realizes that this is an adjustment, it will start to respond by letting go of the weight. Good luck!!

I am 2 weeks post op and right there too. STALL. In fact I gained 2 lbs when I went on full liquids. I eat maybe 1 can of Soup strained and divided up throughout the day. I have a coupe SF pops and my Water. Not much else. Really sad about this even though I heard people venting on the forums post op. I am trying not to weigh myself everyday. That only adds to my sadness about the situation. That and people asking if I have lost X amount of weight yet... GRRRR>..

      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.
