Its been 11 days since my surgery and the last few days I haven't lost any weight. With my pre-op diet and the weight lost after my diet I have lost a total of 23 lbs however - it has stopped and the last 3 days I haven't even lost a pound.

Should I been worried? I am eating all of my Protein and H2O drinks.

No don't worry. We all have a stall our bodies are balancing out a bit and we will start losing weight again. I'm 11 days out and have lost weight in 3 days either.

Get used to the stops and starts - they will continue. Most people advise that you only weigh yourself once a week. There's no way you will NOT lose weight, but plateaus are normal and you will have lots of them. Just be patient.

Also if any of us loose 15-20 lbs plus in a 30 day period that itself is amazing. Let's not worry ourselves about daily weight loss but look at the big picture once a month.

I know if I loose anymore this month it's a bonus. I lost 17 in June pre-op. I am already down 15 for July and the month just started. I am not weighing myself again until 7/28 one month post-op...the bigger/smaller picture lol

      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.
