I'm so pumped. First two days sucked majorly but I'm awake today and walking around, releasing my trapped gas. So on a whim I decided to weigh myself. I'm not sure how accurate it is bc it's not my scale from home but at any rate I'm down approximately 17 pounds!!!! Give or take a few bc it's a different scale. Either way I'll take it. And that's with all this air in me. I can only imagine what it's like in a few weeks once the air is gone. I'm beyond happy!!!! Woohoo!

The best part about the first two weeks is that the weight just melts off! It's enough to keep you going through the 3rd week stall.

Congrats!

I left the hospital 10 lbs heavier than I went in due to Fluid retention. My IV hand was so swollen it looked like a baseball mitt!

Because I am still carrying belly bloat I haven't weighed myself because I don't "feel" like I have lost anything. I am sure I have...how can you not when you don't eat any food...but I will wait till my appt on 4/15 to see.

Congrats to those that are losing! I hope to be a loser soon too! lol

      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.
