ok, i'm not stalled just at a crawl...down one more pound today...i'm at 196. also i forgot my body was preparing for TOM..ugh

@hauntie - no pain for me but remember those are deep wounds so there may be still some healing, upset nerve endings, etc. all my incisions are healed for the most part but the largest one is still a small hole that i wipe with peroxide twice a day. if it is too bothersome i would give your doc/nurse a call but personally i think it just need a little more time.

i have not seen some fellow 18th-ers post in a while...praying all is well.

All my inches ions are finally scabed over, no pain to speak of. This morning I'm down 20lbs since surgery, but did come home 6lbs heavier. I'm on mashies, but still having problems getting enough fluids in and Protein in. Haven't started the treadmill yet, told myself I would today. Just a little low still on energy:). Want to hear more updates from the June 18 th group:)

Hi all, so we are in week 4, as of last Wednesday I was only down 17 at a stall and haven't been in scale since, my clothes are getting looser though, my bra fits better so of course I would lose there first...so I will go back on scale on Wednesday and hopefully this stall will be over!!! I'm not fustrating myself by going on every day though... I'm doing good with foods, not getting enough Protein though, I can't stand any of the shakes I've tried so many... I'll check back in on wednesday our official 4 week surgerversery :)

      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.
