I also am at a stall. A bit frustrating but I know it won't last forever. I am down 18 lbs since starting my preop. It is so exciting to see the scale goung down so it just adds to the frustration of the stall!

Yesterday was the two week mark since surgery and I had a stall last week which ended as of Monday with another drop of a pound. I am down 28 pounds from the start of my pre-op liquid diet. I am feeling better each day and just looking forward to what each week will bring.

I've stalled out at exactly 215.0 pounds. scale is not even wavering 2/10 of a pound...for some weird reason I find this amusing instead of annoying.

I was stalled at that exact weight for 5 days....and I thought it was interesting rather than bothersome, too LOL

TMI warning: Had a BM and went down to 214. I'm taking it ;)

I'm also day 6 and will be in the secret group so we can keep in touch. I'm having minimal pain' date=' and am getting bored, no driving, no lifting, walking is the only allowed exercise. My biggest issue, and the one I will be addressing today is Constipation. I'm drinking more, committed to getting 3 Unjury Protein Shakes today. I've added Benefiber to the drinks, but no results yet. Maybe prune juice and a laxative.

My post op plan is 1 full week of clears. Then 2 week full, then very soft. No solid food until week 4. I'm finding the unflavored Unjury tastes best in Gatorade. And even at that, it's an effort to hang in with it. Water, Popsicles, and chicken broth are better. Today I promised myself to get all my Protein and fluids, and I feel like I can keep that promise. That's progress.

Dr sent me home with Toradol tabs that I am to take for pain every 6 hours. I feel it when I try to skip, and I'm not having side effects, so manage to take 3 or 4 per day. My pain is at the 2 larger incisions. Maybe it will be better when I'm not FOSdde04

I'm not too tempted by food yet. Nice to see I'm steadily loosing weight. Can't seem to skip a day checking the scale.< /p>

All good, in the scheme of things![/quote']

      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.
