19 lb is a fantastic loss font knock it, I think it's a bit hard with everyone posting there weight losses on the time frame they are doing it in as we are all so different xx tell me has there been any other time in your life before your bypass where you lost 19 lb in 3 weeks??? Xx

Everyone losses at a different pace. Some people that have less to lose do so at a slower pace then those that have a lot to lose.

Don't worrie that someone is lossing faster then you it will come off.

Stay off the scale just 1 time a week or you will be disappointed with what you see and cut back on your food intake. This is not good don't put your body in to starvation mode you won't lose any weight. Your body will hold on to what ever you eat.

Besides the scale may not move but your body is still changing, ie like your rings are lose your pants hang low your shirts are baggy. Even your shoes don't fit right any more . iT WILL COME OFF give it time.

19 lbs or 30 lbs in 3 weeks WAY TO GO keep it up

      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.
