Hello, I'm 4 months post op now and since my surgery I've lost a total of 43lbs. However, this past month seems like my weight is at a stand still. I definitely have lots more weight I need to lose, but I'm am feeling discouraged. Is there people that can relate to my situation? I started at 313 and started and I'm currently at 269 and I'm 5'6. Surgery date was 04.08.2013

Here's the typical answers, are you getting in your Water? And are you tracking your protien/ calories? I am only 4 weeks out, but friends who have gotten it before me warned me to not judge everything by the scale. They say it goes back and forth between pounds and inches. Sometimes they see a change on the scale, other times it stays the same, but when they measure they can tell a difference with the inches measurements, even if it is just a few added up all over. Keep plugging along, it will come!

you are ONLY 4 mos out, if you follow the RULEs, yes, you will continue to lose, PLEASE DO NOT weigh daily...... go to ONCE A MONTH.......think you are not losing...... try on some of your old TIGHT FITTING CLOTHES...... you are losing..........inches only maybe, but you are losing. STOP focusing on the ONE EYED MONSTER.........and I MEAN THE SCALES!!!!!!!.... your body has to adjust. YOU did NOT put it on overnight, what in the world makes you think it is going to MELT overnight, GIVE your body time to heal, adjust, It has almost 2 years and I am STILL LOSING!!!!!!!!! Don't rush your body! Check back to this post in a year and let us know how you are feeling! :D

      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.
