I know this is going to sound crazy but I weighed myself for the first time in a week and I was really disappointed that I only lost 3.5 lbs this week. I know that is still good but I was losing 1lb/day up until this week. I did go back to work this week and dont think I drank as much water/crystal light.

We all go through it. It's a normal I went almost 2 weeks without losing a pound and in fact had gained a couple but when it started back I flew off again.

ive been on a steady pace losing wt.. gonna be freaked when I hit a stall. it has slowed up some..but I just started the gym too.. so it will pick up im sure.. I shouldnt complain.. cuz I am down 66lbs in 3 months.. which is really great and without trying.. but now I have to up the program and go to the gym.. which isnt really bad at all.. got a personal trainer to make a program for me.. but you will find it will stall a bit then start up.. thats normal.. hang in there you are doing great..welcome to the club.

I think one reason stalls never bothered me is how I measured myself. I took the weight lost and divided it by the number of days since surgery. That gave me an average loss per day. It was 1/2 pound or more at first and then went down to 1/3 pound per day and so one. That gave me overall look and I didn't fret when the train stopped to let Mr. Fats off and Mr. Muscle on.

Just knowing that my train was still moving on average comforted me that we would eventually reach the destination; Goal City. And we did, good ol' train. B)

      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.
