We all know this journey is just as much about the head journey as the scale journey. Today the head journey is winning! Thinking that my weight loss has stopped or being severly altered at just 9 weeks post op. I have lost 45 pounds since surgery pre op on 05052013. This month so far just 8 pounds.:(. I had a low bmi but wondering is this it? It can't be I know. I try not to be a slave to the scale but I weigh myself at least 3 or more times a week. Trying to be patient but just wondering what is the earliest someone has stopped losing? How could the weight loss slow down so quick! Sure this is my first sign of slowing but the head is messing with me. So glad to be in ONDERLAND for the first time in over 20 years and I only have 15 pounds for my goal and 25 for the doctors goal. So maybe it will continue to trickle on down. If I cold just throw that damn scale away and get out of my head urrrgggg.

Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated today. When did you notice your weight loss was starting to really slow down?

Calm down, take a deep breath. You won't stop losing at 9 weeks. The less you have to lose, the slower it comes off. I would suggest putting the scale away. Weigh and measure once a week. You didn't gain all the weight in a few weeks, you wont lose it all in a few weeks.

      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.
