Alot of people tell me it's normal I'm doing everything right and one day ill step on the scale and be down 5-10 pounds.. I'm praying for that day. Because after this crazy surgery I get terrified at stand stills :(

I think it's normal. I seem to stall about every 20 lbs or so. I used to panic..but now I just go with the flow. Keep eating right and getting your Protein and you will do fine. =o)

A lot of people not only hit their first plateau at 2 weeks post op, but some (myself included at 6 months post op) go up a pound or two before the free fall starts again. Just hang in there and keep doing the right things!!

As hard as it might be.... Step away from the scale!!! It will drive you nuts. I took mine to my moms and weight once a week. I've heard of husbands taking the scale out the house. Measure your self. Stalls happen. And it's hard not to become scale obsessed.

      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.
