Frustrated!!! I have been stalled at the same weight for over a week... kind of feels like I'm going to be this way for good :( I know I'm not but I want my scales to start moving again. Any advice?

Don't weigh yourself every day!!! Stalls happen but the weight loss will start again!

Couple of things for you to remember.

1. Your weight is going to flux 1-2 all the time depending on different things, like is it your time of the month?

You did not gain that weight all at once so you will not lose it all at once. The slower the better, if you can believe that. I lost my weight and I exercised and you cannot ever tell by looking at my skin that I weighed that much

I'm in New Orleans, too - well, Jefferson, actually. Surgery was 11/24/14, the Monday before Thanksgiving. As of 12/23, I'd lost 19 lbs. According to my scale, I've lost another 9 lbs. I haven't been hungry really, but I do crave the taste of some foods - comfort foods, mostly. Things like meat loaf, mashed potatoes, mac & cheese. And I'd love to have a scoop of ice cream - especially Blue Bell Creole Cream Cheese! I haven't given in, and am trying to find things to substitute since I'm having cravings, not hunger.

Any ideas?

Hey ya'll.... Issac from Golden Meadow Louisiana here! Good so see we have a few from our state in the site. Crawfish.... Hate to say this, but I ate crawfish 3 times last week and a whole lot of it!!! But don't start my pre-op diet till today!!! So no more crawfish for me. Not the way I ate them before anyway. No one else would quite understand our passion for getting stuffed eating crawfish, but it's behind me... I hope! I have my surgery on 3/2/15. Dr. Borland in New Iberia. I'm excited about it!!!

I'm a newbie here. Im in Gonzales, LA. I go to my consultation Friday with Dr. Bellanger in Baton Rouge, just wondering if anyone else has worked with him? I'm toying with the idea of going to Dallas to Dr. Kim and having it done. The cost is cheaper for me paying out of pocket and I have family there.

I'm from Louisiana. I am still considering the surgery, but am planning to schedule my first appointment soon. I'll at least call today. Is this forum still open?

Make the call and go to your first visit. If you're just considering it you will have at least educated yourself in the time it may take to get you to have surgery. I called in December 2014 and just had my surgery May 4th. Some ins co make it a requirement to have 6 monthly office visits.

Just do it!!! You have nothing to lose but weight!!!

      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.
