I so wish I could commit to this. I have had my husband hide a scale from me so many times

then I went out and bought a miniature scale and hid that from him. I think it's an addiction LOl

I'm terrible about weighing every day and I don't even have my surgery until October 24! But I'm going to make a sincere effort to go to once a week weighing. These fluctuations on a daily basis are driving me nuts and are totally frustrating. I hope to make this thread a weekly part of my weightloss life.

@kbirnie~ in the support groups I've attended and also the online groups. It's been discussed this is not uncommon. It depends on the individually & their recovery. Some make go as far as three months. The importance is to try to keep from dehydration.

I've read on here & my other support group that ginger root is suppose to help with the sickness.

I would not let it go on to long without consulting your physician. Only he or she can really know your situation. Keeping plenty of Water in your system is important.

Try ice chips or shaved ice like they give us following surgery.

Best wishes in your new journey!

I would love to be part of your support group. I am about 2 months out before my sleeve surgery. Hope I can jump in at that time.

Keep up the good work.

      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.
