Frozen scale Syndrome here too. I have faith - just follow the plan and it will happen. More Water. More Protein. More patience.

I'm thinking about joining the Valentine Challenge with an extra push for pounds off.

I was sleeved January 5th . Starting weight 201 and down to 185 any other peeps proud of their progress? ;)

Surgery date 1/16th. Starting weight 200 lbs, and down to 181. Today is the first day I can take in more fluids and pain is almost gone so i started walking and did light exercises. went to GNC to get Isopure drink to increase my Protein intake. Super excited with this new journey! Thinking of getting resistance bands for my arms and legs, no abdominal exercises yet for a while! :D

Jan3 surgery. Weight 190. Today 18 days post op 171. I am so happy if I add in the pre op diet of loosing 10# than I'm really doing well. But I like to keep it from surgery. So I am down 19 #. And I feel fabulous. I'm eating Greek yogurt. Watermelon oranges and grapes. Cottage cheese and Protein Drinks. Fuzzy navel flavor. Is so good. I love my sleeve

I was sleeved Jan 9th and I've lost 16 so far. My two week check up is Thursday. I was dreaming of 30 lbs in 30 days but I doubt it. At least I can dream!! I lost 20 pre-op so now I'm down 26 lbs. I always picture five pound tubes of hamburger when I think of fat so I picture 5 tubes and that makes me realize it is a huge amount of fat!

My BMI was 49 and now is 43. I'm so happy I had this surgery. I am so much healthier already.

      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.
