I'll weigh in tomorrow, but on TUESDAY, right before surgery, I lost 6.4 lbs on the pre-surgery diet!

So SW for surgery = 264.8 lbs.

I don't want to get too excited yet, but I THINK.....after FIVE weeks of nothingness...I may be down a few pounds. I'm holding my breath the next couple days to see if it's real! I really scaled back on my intake and logging, and I think it's doing something...

Yay, I broke my stall and lost 4.6lbs this week. I'm super excited!!!! I hope I am off my stinkin' stall for a while.

1 month, 4 days post op...

PSW: 243.6 (Pre-surgery weight)

SW: 231.6 (Surgery weight)

LWWI: 216.6 (Last week's weigh-in)

CW: 212.0 (Current Weight)

Total loss: 31.6 (19.4 since surgery)

I am not sure what people consider their starting weight so I called it surgery weight. Are people counting from the date of surgery or from the start if their pre-op diet? I don't want to mislead newbies into thinking I lost 31.6 lbs in 4 weeks. I hope I did this right.

You're right, I can see where that might mix some people up so instead of me calculating my highest weight, I readjusted my ticker with my start weight being at the beginning of the preop diet. I think most people are starting from preop diet weight.

I start from my pre op diet weight, because if I did not have the surgery scheduled, I would not have lost that 15 pounds beforehand, so I count it as "surgery" loss.

      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.
