I am a little bummed. I am two and a half weeks post op and I do not feel like I'm losing much weight. Am I over reacting? Is this just in my head? I lost more during my week of liquids Pre op than I have post surgery. I lost 14 pounds Pre op and I still haven't lost a total of 20 pounds yet. Is something wrong????

Oh hun....I am so sorry u r stressed out over this...our heads get in the way so much. I m one day ahead of u post op and my surgeon said it is all in my head. I'm doing everything the doc is telling me he said to quit com pairing myself to others and enjoy my own journey.

Hang in there. Losing over 14 in 4 weeks is awesome!

Totally uersand how you feel. I am 4 weeks out and have lost 25 since the two weeks before. I have been stalled for 2 weeks and I was expecting more to drop and now i feel like my worst fear has come true that i am going to be at this weight forever.

Post surgery drama. Disregard and move on... it gets better and the weigh MELTS off.

Stay off the scale for a few days and drink your Water and eat right - you will amaze yourself.

Very normal when you have a pretty good loss pre-op. Hang in there, it will come off. Just follow your nutritionist's guidelines.

      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.
