I was 307 day of and then day after I was 317 cuz of all the gasses-- now I'm only at 312 --- so I know I have to lose the gas they put--- but since I'm not eating I think I should lose that extra gas Plus weight---- so I'm bugged that its only been 5 lbs list cuz get the extra gas concept -- but I should lose fat since I'm not eating to--- any thoughts/ advise-

Actually, the higher weight is likely due to Fluid retention. The surgery itself causes the body to hang on to fluids for a few days, but it does come off. I was surprised by how much Water weight I gained. But to answer your question, I think it took about a week to get below my surgery day starting weight. Don't worry, it comes off!

Yeah most likely from the Fluid not the gas, the more fluids you intake the quicker it will get rid of the excess liquids. Good Luck.

      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.
