I had surgery on June 10th so yeah I am in the 6 weeks of my body reajsuting. Thank You! I needed that. My Dr never told me that. I was telling my husband that I think my body is adjusting to my new diet and it will catch on to the idea that I am not starving myself and this is how life will be like from now on. I agree the smaller clothes is a much nicer reward that the number on a scale. I did get rid of a bunch of clothes and still had some that fit. But after this go around of clothes I am going to be naked unless I go shopping. I think I am good for a few weeks may be a month or two. My good friend started calling me Lilly' date=' as in Lilly Tomlin the incredible shrinking woman. I see that I am loosing and I feel bones I have not felt in a very long time. This morning I finally lost 3 pounds. I was shocked. I am happy to have lost and feel bad for complaining. I am so scared that this surgery will not work for me because nothing ever worked before. I eat less than 1000 calories a day. I walk when I have a chance. I finally have more energy and I am doing so much more than I did last month. I guess I am scared. I so want this to work. I am tired of loosing and regaining the weight and even more weight. Thanks again. I am so happy for your advice. You Rock![/quote']

I'm right there with ya! Surgery date June 6. Slow go the last couple of weeks. I wish my Dr had told me not to weigh-- would have saved me a lot of frustration & grief. scale started moving again yesterday. 2.3 lbs in 2 days..

Good luck. I am ready for change and I am hoping that I will continue to see the scale going lower and lower each week. I only weigh myself once a week. One of my friends on the June forum, Frank told me he does that and I liked the idea. I got less scale conscious after talking to him, but still would hope for a weekly loss. I know that we will get there. The journey is long but it is so worth it.

Hey guys I am stalling. I am smaller but the scale and I don't agree. I was a 24 but now I am in an 18. The scale has been the same for 2 weeks. I increased my Protein. I walk daily.

Congrats....keep up the good work and stay off that scale its à trap....lol....

This is going to be TMI for some people....but as a woman who has suffered from PCOS and infertility and no natural monthly cycles....I would like to report that I had a cycle start 5 days after my surgery (surgery date june 12) and then I started another cycle today....I cant believe it is finally coming from what seems to be on a normal schedule. I pray that this happens every month so when goal is reached babies can be made without intervention from a fertility specialist :-)

I see my Dr on Wed and I will be asking her about increasing the Protein. I am tall, too, and no one has ever mentioned it before. Thanks for the info!

      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.
