Don't rush it. Your body is doing what it needs to heal. The weight loss will come. Just follow the liquid diet and get your Protein in which will help with the loss.

Remember, this is your NEW lifestyle and life.....you are here for the long run so be patient!

Good luck!

7lbs in 1 week is great, just keep doing what your doing and you will lose, your going to have stalls everyone does so when you get them dont be to hard on yourself, I know its hard cus I am in a stall right now but I just keep telling myself, my body is going thru some changes and just catching up I know I will start losing again, take every pound you get off and enjoy that

The surgery went great. I did a lot of walking yesterday. I sometimes gulp my Water, and feels crazy going down. I'm learning to take smaller sips. I'm still on the liquid diet, so I'm a little hungry. Surprisingly, I've had a lot of energy! I feel great

42 lbs down that's great. I'm sorry that your nauseous sweetie. I wish I had suggestions for you, but I'm a newbie.

You don't won't your weight to fall any faster than it already is, there is jeopardy of skin hanging the faster it falls off, so just keep doing what you are doing which is great.

A pound a day is great progress!! Just keep walking and keep up your Protein intake and you might be able to continue to do great. I'm a week out and anxious to see results as well!!

      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.
