Don't worry, when you finally start it will just drop off of you in incriments. You'll have a few stalls but you'll be ok :)

Thanks, just so excited to start and to stall right out the gate is tough. I lost 10 during my preop but nothing since. Thanks again for the encouragement.

I feel you. Surgery was July 17 and although I've lost a few, nothing like what I expected. Had numerous complications w/ the surgery and can't keep anything at all down, so my body has hit hit starvation mode :( I don't know how to get passed this.

Sorry to hear about your complications. It's frustrating to not see the rewards for our efforts. Of course we must be patient, do we have a choice lol :). Good luck maybe we'll both drop a good amount at the same time :)

I am only a month out. I lost weight the first week, then a stall for 2 weeks. I was so surprised that it would happen so early. However, although slowly, the scale has started to move again. Don't get discouraged. The way I see it, if we eating a lot less than before, and exercising as well, in the long run, it is IMPOSIBLE not to lose weight. It has to happen as the months go by. The best that has helped me is not compare my self to others, and knowing that eventually it will happen.

That happened to me. i lost 10 pounds pre ope. then after surgery i lost 5 pounds by the 7th post op day and then i stalled. so i had to figure out what to do because that just wasnt good.

so i made some changes.

at first i was drinking my Protein shake at 10 pm and i changed that.

i started drinking my Protein Shake no later than 8 pm and if i got hungry after 8 pm i had Jello or sugar free pudding.

then instead of doing 30 minutes of walking a day i began doing 60 minutes of walking per day. since i changed up i have dropped an additional 8 pounds.

i was thinking that once i had the surgery the weight was going to just fall off but thats a misconception you have to exercise and im ok with that

Maybe tweaking a couple of things will help. Make sure you keep the carbs under control. Who knew skim milk had carbs??? Exercise more. My long walks are therapeutic. And drink that Water. I'm STILL struggling with that but the few days I hit it, the scale moved. Hang in there. We can do this!

I am 3 weeks out. I had my surgery on July 16. I weighed twice once a week & the scale never moved. I weighed again & had lost abt 10 lbs. I knw tht its impossible not to loose weight w the amt of food im eating. So dont get discourged, it will come up. Inches are coming off, i can tell in my clothes.

      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.
