Oh that sucks when you are doing all you can to make the scale go down. I am only 19 post op so by far no expert but I'm whining about "only" loosing 20 lol. I saw another girl on here tonite who had her surgery the same day as me that has lost 30 pounds. So we all are going to the same place (skinnyville LOL) we just may not all take the fastest route. It just depends on your starting weight, how much Water and Protein your able to get in etc. Plus stalling in the first cpl weeks is super common and frustrating. Its really hard not to weigh every day, but try just every cpl days and you may be more encouraged by those numbers. Think long term. In a month from now you will be so happy with your numbers I'm sure :)

So are you saying that you have lost 21 pounds? In one month? I am still awaiting my insurance approval but, I know that there is no way that I could ever lose 11 pounds or 21 pounds in one month..

Keep your head in the game.. You are doing amazing and I know in a couple weeks you are gonna be singing a different tune!!!!

Good luck sweetie!

In my mind I justify my slower weight loss with giving my skin more time to shrink! Don't know if there is any science behind it but it makes me feel better, especially when my hubby is losing super fast (in my mind he is going to have a lot of loose skin! Lol). We went and saw my family and they were all oohing and ahhing over his "drastic" loss and barely said anything about mine even though I had not seen them since my surgery 2 months ago. Men suck...lol.

Honestly though, it took me longer to gain all of this weight than it is going to be to lose it, even if it is just 1-2 lbs a week...that can be over 100 lbs in a year!

      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.
