I lost about 40 my first week, including a 2-day pre-op diet, but I'm high BMI and was still very dehydrated when weighed at my 1 week post-op.

I don't believe there is an average. It swings wildly from person to person. I gained weight while I was in the hospital. Then lost it, then gained it back and lost it again 3 more times ( while I was back and forth to the clinic having IVs.) I lost 36# during that first little bit, but it was the same 6-8# over and over. I thought it would never stop! Now at 8 weeks out, the scale has finally stayed in one direction for awhile. I am down 58# and people say I am ahead of the curve now. So I believe anything less than you went in is good. You just never know what hand you will be dealt.

      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.
