I had my surgery exactly 2 weeks ago and lost 18 pounds the first week. The second week I havent lost a pound. What is going on? I was on Clear Liquids the first week and the second week I was on full liquids. I added a few things to my diet such as cream Soups and Protein Shakes. Im so disappointed. :( I have been stuck in the same number for a whole week....

18 lbs the first week is awesome. Don't be disappointed at all you are doing great. I'm 2 weeks shy of being 3 mths out and didn't lose a single lb until my 2nd week and only lost 2 lbs. Everybody is totally different with the weight loss and the way their body decides to change and at what pace. I had to lose 30 lbs to change clothing sizes where as some seem to fly thru sizes with 10-15 lbs loss.

We are sleeve sisters..I had my surgery 2 weeks ago today also...

18lbs is AWESOME...think about how long it would take you to lose18lbs if you were just dieting and not had surgery..... I kind of look at it theat way and it makes me feel much better. I am down 17.4 lbs since I started my clear liquid diet the Sat. before surgery...

How are you feeling otherwise? I am feeling really good...still just a little sore ut overall reall y good!!

I myself use INTEK Evolution, it's a whey isolate which is what the drs recommend, I scoop to about 4 ounces of Almond milk ( this is what I use) provides 34 grams of Protein, contains 160 calories 2 g carbs, 1 g of sugar. 2 shakes a day will get you to your required protein each day. At right at 3 months out 1 still take at least one shake a day and sometimes a second depending on how I did with my protein for the day. It mixes extremly well and is smooth. It is available at specialty nutrition stores and online. I really appreciate the fact that it doesnt require me to drink 8-12 oz's and the taste is something I can deal with and actually tolerate. I purchased several flavors so I don't burn myself out drinking the same thing day in and day out. It says you can mix with Water but I don't like the taste mixed with water.

I am drinking either EAS that you can buy at the grocery store...I only like the chocolate and it has to be really really cold. Or I order one from APEX it is a whey Lean Protein powder, 24 hour fitness sells it online. It has 22g of Protein and to me tastes really good. I think the key is to make them slushie cold in the freezer or a bit...

      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.
