Had my surgery on august 28th, and so far have lost 20 pounds already! I know it's going to slow down soon, but I'll take what I can get right now. At first I was really frustrated with the liquids only and all that, but it seems like the surgery kind of slapped my"food obsession" right out of me. I don't think about food constantly anymore, and it's way easier to ignore. Even things that I loved before like pizza and chips, are just kind of eh...I'm not hungry right now. So weird!

I'm the 27th too and lost 10 so far. But I Lost 20 on the three week pre op diet. Plus I figure I will lose slowly since I gave less to lose. I have 25 more to get to goal and really hope I can do that by Christmas but kind of in a stall right now. Haven't lost anything for 4 days.

Congratulations to everyone!! I was sleeved on August 29th, and I'm down 22 lbs. so far. I'm loving the no food obsession thing right now. Preparing myself for when the weight loss slows down, but enjoying it now!!

Sweet! I'm glad this is working cuz my only other idea was to have some one lock me up in a room with a treadmill and refuse to feed me until I worked out lol

Being in a stall this early is very frustrating!!! I thought maybe I was stalling because I wasn't getting calories and Protein so I started upping my Protein two days ago and I still haven't lost anymore. Ugh!!! I know I'm just being impatient but since we r just over 2 weeks out I thought I wouldn't hit a stall for a couple of more weeks.

Anyonw have ideas for breaking a stall? I'm exercising, getting 40-50 grand if protein, and not getting too many calories at all. Do I just ride it out?

Ride it out, continue getting in all of your protein and fluids, and exercise. The weight will come off. Stay off of the scale!!!

      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.
