You lost 43 pounds in 8 weeks. Your body isn't like anyone else's and therefor you can't judge by them. :). When else have you been successful in losing 59 pounds in a little over 2 months? I think you're doing STELLAR. Keep up the awesome work.

I have not had my bypass yet and I have seen people lose weight quickly and slowly. It seems to be good if you are losing about 20 lbs per month. You don't see a lot of people lose more than 100 lbs in the first six months. Seems like you are on track according to what I've been seeing.

I was told to expect 2-4 pounds a week, you're at about 5 1/2 per week....that's almost a pound a day which is pretty freaking fabulous!!!!

Thanks girlies. I appreciate the words of encouragement. I just didn't think of it that way.

      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.
