You've still lost 15 lbs in about 9 days.

The body needs to adjust to the surgery, recovery and weight loss.

You may not see the numbers go down every day.

I weigh myself once a week with hopes of seeing the number on the scale move.

I stopped losing for an entire month shortly after surgery. It's normal when your body looses so much so quickly.

I just broke a post-op stall today (fingers crossed that the number doesn't go up tomorrow!) - I started stalling about 10 days post-op and today is day 23. Regardless, my clothes ARE looser - even my boyfriend commented on my loose pants today! Our bodies are adjusting and things will change...slowly but surely. Try not to be frustrated and keep to the plan - it WILL work!

Again and again I must say....throw that @&$£*^€ scale away! Hehe. You shouldn't be weighing all the time in the beginning. It drives you crazy. :)

Just measure yourself...and look to your clothes for the answer. If they are looser and your measurements are smaller, then you are losing. When you are exchanging fat for muscle the scale may not move, but you are getting smaller anyways. Before I got heavy I weighed 150, didn't work out so I had a lot of fat....and I was a size 10. Now I am 170 and I am a size 10.... Why? Because I have more muscle then I did back then. It takes up less space so you can be smaller and weigh more. The scale sucks! Hehe ;)

      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.
