I am looking for your ticker and you don't have one yet and checked your profile and you don't have a date yet. So it's really hard to assist without other information like diet, etc. :) t's great that your exercising.

Just reread your post and you had surgery 3 weeks ago. No problem, it may just be that your body is transitioning. You will start to drop inches and lbs really soon! It ill happen. :)

Did you lose any pre-op? I know when people lose a significant amount pre-op, their bodies take a little longer to reset.

is the mushy stuff you are eating carb heavy? Everyone is different and I know it is frustrating waiting for it to drop. THe only other idea i have is you aren't getting enough calories in. and drink drink drink what you can.

so 10 pre op and 10 since?

I only lost 8 on my two weeks pre op liquids but unfortunately gained most of it back with needing a transfusion and a ton of fluids in hospital. I basically walked out from surgery weighing 2 pounds less than before. I am at 28 pounds gone but I am starting from my pre pre op diet weight.

So if you are down twenty overall that isn't bad. hang in there?

Seems like maybe too much excercise this early may be tricking your body into starvation mode and it's trying to hang on to whatever it can? I know my body does that to me especially if you are lacking in essential nutrient.

Perhaps uping your Protein intake and Water will give you a boost. Just a little at a time. This could be your 3 week stall as well. It happens. you will lose weight and have that beautiful slim new body that's shouting out "SEXY." :)

      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.
