Ok so I have to admit I was really really discouraged at the slight stall I experienced this week. I didn't lose any weight all week!!! Grrr. In fact I gained 3.5 pounds when they pumped me full of IV fluids. But today I stepped on the scale and BAM down 3 pounds again. I guess all the walking and running around has paid off this week. I'm feeling so much better about myself and this surgery. So I decided I needed to go for a brisk walk. So I put on some new workout clothes I bought over a year ago and have never worn. And it fits!!! Plus my tummy has gone down quite a bit! While the scales aren't showing much progress. My body is. I just have to keep walking walking walking. Ill get there. So if any of you have been stalled or down this week stay strong you will get there. We are all in this together! Just take in all your fluids/protein and walk your worries away!!!

Starting weight 208 current weight 190. I'm short and curvy so my weight distributes pretty well but I'm still very big for my height. It's just not as evident to others. I can't wait to get down to 135. I'm only 5'3".

      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.
