I was a little disappointed with the fact that next week I will be 1 month post op and I only lost 12 lbs. Then I refocused, realized I never lost that much that quickly and decided to focus on nsv's. I am down 2 sizes, my feet shrunk, my confidence is up, and lastly I went to the mall today for some shopping and for my daily walk and even got some admirers. Also for the first time in awhile I wasn't ashamed to be seen with my very thin sister!

Star,

I can totally relate, I too am a slow loser, but like you I had to give myself alot of pep talks. Also, I measured myself...a friend that had the surgery the same day as I lost 20 pounds in three weeks and ten inches and I lost ten pounds and 20 inches (six in the waist!). Soooooo...the scale is only half the story and inches the other!

I too am feeling better about myself...went shopping and bought once size down than before--Yay!

Slow loser here too, but you look fantastic and it sure looks like you've lost more! I just broke a two week stall where I lost no weight at all, but still dropped a full dress size. Betting you will have a similar experience!

You are doing awesome! Keep it up! Just wanted to tell you even tho you don't see it on the scale doesn't mean it's not working. I would always see it on my clothes then on the scale. I'm a year out and haven't lost anything since dec. but I've gone down 3 sizes. Just remember your body may be redistributing the weight. 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.
