Walking is def helping me to shed the lbs. Im just over 2weeks post op and down 25lbs. I noticed over the past week that if I walk I lose 1-2lbs a day, if I don't the scale doesn't do much.

Im not doing Protein shakes either...they make me gag. I've just started stage III and am doing high Protein foods like eggs, Greek yogurt, meats etc.

I had surgery 1/21 and I'm in shock that I did it and now that I lost 40 pounds in five weeks all post op .. I went to work yesterday for the first time a boi did they tell the difference but all where supportive no negative I told mostly everyone at my job so I have no problems w gossip and it just makes my job easier they do worry about me how I'm I doing .. That could be cause it was my first day I'm starting to feel like this is the best thing that's happen to me ..it's weird I'm still wearing my old close there too big for me but I don't want to give them up to go to a smaller size I guess when your over weight big clothes makes you feel good

OMG I hope you keep on loosing ..that's great. I hope....iffff i get approved..that i have the same success as you. How much did you weigh before your surgery ?

      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.
