Oh no! What were your symptoms? Not that I'm hoping I do have one but at least it would be an answer to what's going on. I keep saying that something has to give...I can't keep feeling like this!

Praying everything goes well for you!

Vomiting most if not all foods, eating very little, liquids want to come back up, pain on sides. I never feel like eating because I'm always sick!

Hey everyone..

I'm 5 weeks post op and only lost abt 20 lbs:(

I take my Vitamins, at least 60g of pro daily, I do have room for improvement with exercise & Water intake. I am just so disappointed... I expected so much more! Surg-9/11...SW=244. CW=224

I would appreciate any feedback. Anyone else experience such a slow start??

Thank you Leilani. I've been meaning to send a similar message.

If you want to be added, send me your exact name on FB and a description of your profile picture. You can also private message me as it's a little difficult to keep track of the requests embedded in this thread from my phone. Sorry if I've missed someone!

My surgery was 9/10 and I haven't lost a crazy high amount either - like 22 pounds. However, according to my doctor, they want to see patients lose 10% of their total excess body weight in first month. I was at about 20% at my rate. I asked about the target for months 2 and 3, and he said everyone's different and will lose at different rates. So....don't be too hard on yourself or try to compare your progress with someone else's. We are all different with different metabolisms, etc. My doctor also warned about a stall at about month 2. You have lost 20 pounds, which is great! It will come off, just hang in there and don't get discouraged!!

      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.
