I haven't been getting enough either. Water has been giving me heartburn. I don't know why, but it makes it hard to drink it. I have been drinking hot herb tea & Sobe Life water. It helps, but I know it's not enough.

I make sure to start the day with 16 ounces of hot herbal tea. Two cups before Breakfast.< /p>

Still no weight loss. One positive thing though is that before the surgery I would have given up if I didn't see any progress. Now I can't give up! :)

I know brandy. It is so hard and frustrating. I felt embarrassed to tell my family I have stopped loosing. But please listen to me. It will start again. Im 5 weeks and stalled the last 2 weeks and just started loosing again. Lost 4# in 2 days. It's so hard to hang in there but it will start again. I promise. Hugs.

That's my problem. I lost 23lbs right away but since my post-op follow-up appointment I'm stuck!!! Like super stuck! NOTHING! as a matter of fact I gained a few ounces. :( I'm not getting all of my fluids. I'm just really feeling like I'm failing my sleeve.

Well ladies, stay positive. Easier said than done but hey, we're in this together. I lost 14# pre-op and I'm 4 weeks out and have lost only 11#s. My PA told me to look at the overall pic, not these days or this week. After seeing it her way, I'm doing 5#s a week which is insane :) Don't give up, we have no choice! It will work out....we don't wanna be looking sick losing too fast, ya know! Hang in there :)

Wow! You have already come so far!! Congratulations on your weight loss so far. Everyone is different & our bodies behave differently, and yes, you might be in a stall, but you'll get out of it. You have already come so far...be proud of that. Keep working the program and more weight will come off. You got this!!

      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.
