I have to start by saying "I am soo happy and grateful for my sleeve". But please lord tell this is not the end! I was sleeved on nov. 4th. I have lost a total of 82lbs. That is great, I would of never done it on my own. Now I have hit a stall and have not lost anything in a month. No loss of lbs or inches. This can't be it... I have plenty more to go. I went from 308 to 226! Don't quit on me now!!!!!

I have read else where that when people go thorough a major stall they go back to basics, the post op diet and even mushy food for a week or two and it jump starts them. Good luck! 82 lbs is AWESOME!

I seem to lose more slowly then most people, but that's okay. I got sick on being on a low carb diet so I went off and did weight watchers a couple of times. I did end up losing some weight on this kind of diet but not hardly enough. I got off it about a month ago, and I only lost 6 pounds in the whole long month. I basically average around 15 pounds a month when I count my carbs and count my Protein. I have never lost less then 10 pounds a month while on this diet and that includes taking a few days off a month to enjoy some carbs. I would just go back to basics, before surgery I could count calories and lose weight but that doesn't work for me anymore. I have to eat low carbs and high protein to lose. I don't know why this is, but I know what works and I stick to that. 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.
