So I'm a little over 6 weeks out and just can't seem to break through to the next set of digits! A couple of weeks ago I was in a roll and then "that time" came and I stalled that entire week. This week I've lost back down to before plus a couple extra pounds but am really feeling discouraged...I really expected the scales to move quicker especially since I'm diligent in Protein, Water, and exercise!

Just wondering what average others have experienced?

Comparing your weight loss to mine (or anyone else's) is always a mistake and a sure recipe for frustration. We are all individuals and all unique. There are just too many variables to judge your success against someone else's. Just keep following the protocol, stay active, and stay away from the scales for at least a week and two would be even better. You're gonna love the new you!!

Remember you may not be losing lbs, but I bet you are losing Inches. Stay strong and the lbs will come off. I have been stalled weight wise for about a month, but today I had to notch my belt tighter. So I may not be losing weight,but know the inches are coming off.

Agreed. My body does not seem to lose weight and inches at the same time. On days I wake up feeling thin, the scale generally hasnt budged

      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.
