I am 19 weeks today and only at a loss of 32#. My dr was disappointed, saying I should be double that? Wow really?:(

I'm just tired all the time and still have bad nausea with Vitamins to the point I usually puke them up. So aside of the monthly B12 shot I get, I'm guessing the Vitamins issue is contributing to my lack of energy?

I take two daily RX for the acid reflux and chew tums a lot, and still nothing I eat is satisfying due to the acid indigestion.

I'm just not progressing as I'm told I should be and it's frustrating and discouraging. I know eventually I will keep losing because I'm not eating half what I used to but who knows when it'll be enough to see and feel a real Difference.

Well, how much do you need to lose? Maybe you are just a slow loser, which can be great in preventing lots of saggy skin. I would be calling the doc about the tiredness and nausea, you shouldnt have that at 19 weeks out, I havent had any tiredness since 3 weeks out. Are you eating enough, drinking enough Water? I find when I stall, changing the amount of food I eat seems to break the stall. Good luck to you.

Try increasing your calories. If you can, it will help you to lose more. You may not be eating enough for your body to let go of more pounds. It is really hard to do but I've found that the scale keeps moving if I try to get in at least 800 calories. Sometimes I know I don't make that and I will have a stall. Hope you feel better soon.

      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.
