My surgery was Nov 29 and I am down to 157 from 212 pre prep and lost 12 on the prep diet. I am down to a 6 or 8 and feel amazing. I have been careful not to beat myself up about the weight loss and think it will just happen. To the person who wants a snickers just eat one then! You probably aren't eating enough calories right now. If you are net below 800 in a day your body won't lose weight.

I'm 5'...very short! I carry most of my weight around my stomach and abdomen:-( killer on my back! I haven't taken measurements but I'm wearing 13/14...depending on the jean brands. I THINK I have some that are size 12. Idk what shape I am...butt' date=' legs and boobs have been the first things to go lol...

If you carry most of your weight in the middle them a 13/14 at 5' makes sense.There may be some brands where I would be bigger than an 8 but in most things an 8 is what I wear.Juniors sizing (odd number sizes) is a weird thing for me though bc I am pretty sure I would be to big for a 7 but I haven't bought anything in junior sizes lately.

Every Doctor is different. Mine has me on 600 cals. And has since the surgery. I am 6 months out. I am still losing but do worry about what will happen when I go on a maintenance plan.

Yes every dr is different. Mine has me on 1100 cals. Its rare I get all my cals but I have been losing still. My carb intake should be 93-120grams but I usually get from 45- 80 grams. I concentrate so much on Protein sometimes i forget! I have to really work to get those carbs in:-\

I was stuck for 6 weeks. Thought it was due to the Prozac my doc put me on for my PMDD, which started when the weight started coming off. (as a pcoser, I am unfamiliar with these hormones!). So two weeks ago, stopped the med and no change. Boo! Upped my workouts this week and dropped almost two pounds so I hope I am back to losing some more! Good luck everyone!

Started this journey Nov 1st 2012

Started 266

Currently 176

That's a total loss of 90 pounds. I stalled for almost two months and just started seeing the scale go down. I eat under 1000 calories a day. I'm wearing med to large shirts and 12-14 pants. My tummy seems to be holding on a long as possible. I need to get into the gym and start toning. Overall pretty darn happy with my new life :)

Still mostly stalled.... Anyone else wonder about when the belly fat (gut) will catch up with the other areas? Seems like everywhere is getting smaller BUT my belly!

      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.
