The only excuse they tell me is its because I wasn't that big to start with and I am not going to lose it like bigger people. I was 287 and 5'8. I have lost 72 pounds so far 11 of it week before surgery and 61 after. So I lost 49 the first month. Hopefully my body is just trying to catch up and heal. I am also retaining Fluid so going to go back on my blood pressure pills with diuretic in it

Hi There

Wow 72lbs that's truly FANTASTIC!!!

It's a shame that u had that experience @ the doctors

How about focusing on other ways to measure your weight loss success

1.Tape Measure

2.Clothes

3.Jewelry

4.Sticking to the WLS Rules

5.Photograph yourself

Given what u have lost so far to get to goal will happen by maintaining the Rules

U will get there keep up the good work :-)

      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.
