That is awesome!!! Is that the first time you have stepped on the scale since your surgery? I have heard that when you come home from hospital that your weight goes up from all the fluids you get in the hospital??!?!

You are rockin!!!

Hey that's 16 lbs you'll never see again. And nothing to cough at. Be proud of yourself. Remember you was pumped full of liquid and gas for surgery. That doesn't leave your body right away. When your body starts to eliminate them you'll lose. Just remember to get up and get walking. Also don't compare your loss to others. Everyone is different and loses different. Stalls will happen but when they do don't focus on the lack of weight loss. Instead pay attention to your clothes and measurement. Your body sometimes needs time to adjust to your loss and often you lose inches instead of pounds. Which we also want!

      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.
