It's was 6 weeks yesterday since my surgery. I have tried to stay off the scale except on weigh in days, but this morning something pushed me to get on and when I did I had lost 4.4lbs since Monday! That's a grand total of 36lbs since before surgery!!! Ecstatic over here!!! How are you all doing???

I was 6 weeks out yesterday too. I'm down 28lbs since surgery and the scale will not go down past 202. I hate being stuck here. And I feel like I can eat more than ever. Do u guys feel that way now? My doc says I'm doing great but I'm worried I can eat up to 1200 cals a day.

But 6 weeks ago you could eat 4000 calories a day.....

      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.
