I also started weighing myself daily. I now weigh in every Tuesday (early morning after my workout). Don't forget...you could be losing inches. Good luck!

I'm one week post op, and have been weighing daily. Stepped on the scale and no change since yesterday...but I need to stop weighing myself every morning. NO other time in my life have I lost 16 lbs and not been starving!

Don't be a slave to the scale, this is a lifelong journey so why start counting land markers now.

Need a little encouragement. The scale is slowwww and my clothes don't feel any loser over the past week. I'm 5 weeks out and down about 20 pounds, and the bulk of that was in the first three weeks. I feel like maybe I'm doing something wrong or I've stretched my pouch or something. Any advice?

I am in the exact same place with the obsessive weighing in. I was sleeved on 12/19 and have lost 11 pounds... Which is awesome, but for some reason I feel like I am falling behind some imaginary curve. I have my first post op tomorrow and I am praying I get a bit of encouragement from the doc. :)

      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.
