@@Kimmey16. Look at the posts regarding embracing the stall - it's common at 3 weeks post-op. Don't worry about what the scale says - if you're getting your Protein and Water in then you'll lose.

Yea, I have read it but I just wish it would go by.. I ready to feel and look better. These 3 weeks have been a real bumpy road.. A lot of sickness..

Wow! You look AMAZING!! Have you had to have any plastic surgery? I am 51 and know I will need abdominoplasty, breast lift, arms and legs done by the end of this journey!

I have NOT. Not yet. Haha

I am 35, I was prayyyyying that I wouldn't

But guess my skin isn't bouncing back the best it should.

BUT-I am healthy. I feel amazing.

And I'm not really that concerned about it

I'm learning to love myself, including my flaws.

My stretch marks and hanging skin, for now, are a constant reminder of WHERE I came from.

I'm ok with it. I have insecurities without a doubt, but nothing a tight tank can't hold in, haha.

But I would need my upper thighs lifted and stomach. And breast augmentation would be wonderful, I just need to find a way to pay for it all hahahha!

But for now, I'm just loving being able to shop, not be sweating 24/7 and to actually MOVE!

Do whatever makes you happy with yourself!

Everyone's pictures are truly inspiring!!????

I have actually lost only 13 lbs since surgery (3 weeks out)and I'm trying to figure out why an I not losing. I have my Protein and right now I'm only on soft food but my weight don't seem to be moving.

I still have an old pic of me at my highest weight on the front of my phone so that keeps me motivated but I just wish my scale would move.. Lol

It's way too early to worry. At 3 weeks I would have said "I've only lost 17 lbs". But that's because I lost 17 lbs in about 10 days then went into a stall. My stall was 14 days and yet I have still lost 25 lbs in the first month. I'll take it.

That is still good at least you are losing but I'm at a stall seem like. But I'm just going to pray and stay focus. Sometimes I question myself did I make the right decision and I hate to feel like that.

Kimmey16... take a laxative. Ducolax to get you to move past the stall. The stalls are normal.

      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.
