Hi there! My surgery date was alos the 28th of January. I too was stuck at 30, then now I am down 2 more. But...I also was up a few then back down again. Don't stress it. This happens to everyone. What I have done is gone back to the basics. I am not going over 30 carbs a day nor over 1000 cals a day. Make sure your getting in your Protein and Water. It's still hard for me to get in all the liquid but I am trying. Also I think most of all....move...walk, walk, walk. I just purchased and elyptical machine, I like it. So even if you break up your workout time to 3 10 minute sessions, it really works. good luck to you. :)

I'm 4 weeks tomorrow and the scale didn't move this week. It's very frustrating!

Be patient! As frustrating as it is for the scale NOT to move every time eventually it will. Stick to your program & don't stress about it. I'm six months out and have lost 80 lbs. I had to limit how often I weighed so I didn't get discouraged. Even now I only weigh every two weeks at the most often. I like seeing a different number on the scale and when I weighed more often I didn't always see it. Good luck!!

      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.
