I have a NUT and physical trainer appt today! I was officially 1 month post op yesterday and I'm just so happy with how good I am feeling these days :-) I'm down 24 lbs and I'm enjoying getting to eat a little something here and there :-) my weight keeps stalling for a couple days then drops a lb and then stalling a couple more then dropping another lb. however I think I'm gonna put the scale in the closet because honestly, I don't care what it says as long as I'm following the guidelines and I feel great!

Congratulations!! You are doing so well :)

I think putting the scale away is a GREAT idea. The times when I was motivated enough to only get on the scale once a week were the BEST because I saw larger drops in the scale... but there are times when i've been frustrated so I've weighed myself every day and it sucks because your weight fluctuates so much even day to day that you could be up one day, down the next and back up the third etc.. once a week at the same time (the morning is the best because it is generally when you are at your lowest weight) really is the best because it FEELS the best :D

Good luck with your appointments and good job!

I think that is a great idea, I see my scale in the bathroom and feel I need to get on it daily...it is driving me crazy. It is going in the hall closet when I get home! Congrats to you, you are doing great! I am six weeks out today and down 26 since surgery.

I got in trouble for not enough Protein as well. So, for my meals I would have 2 oz of Protein instead of a protein and a carb. I could barely even eat 2 oz. Crap I started the soft food stage yesterday and I can still barely eat 2 oz.!!!

Today has been a month and I'm down 40lbs.

      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.
