I'm in the same boat as you, had my surgery on July 10 and I only lost 9 pounds, just try to get the 70 grams of Protein in a day, and the 64 oz of Water, my doctor said its normal that everyone is different.

Have you weighed your self? Did you do any kind of pre-op diet? I started this journey at 333, then my doc put me on a pre-op all liquid diet for a week and went down to 318 on the day of my surgery which was yesterday. With nothing but I'VE yesterday and ice chips I know I weigh less. I don't feel like I have been losing weight until i step on the scale.< /p>

it's not an overnight process. you have already lost 15 pounds in 2 1/2 weeks. that's impressive! i had my surgery on 7/10 and have lost 15 pounds as well. i've never lost weight that quickly doing Atkins, medifast, or any other diet so i'm happy. just keep following your directions and it will come off!!!

hang in there!

      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.
