My surgery was on June 18th, was down 16.5 lbs after 9 days, this week I had by six week visit and I'm not losing weight like I should be according to the dr. It's depressing to think I went through all this rigimoroll and I'm not losing any faster than being on a regular diet. I'm going to try and follow everything my dr says to the letter and see if that makes a difference. I think I've been suffering from bad head hunger, and have snacked. I know, shame on me!

Dont get down on youself its will change very soon :) set some goals that helps you focus

Sooooooo. I did get an answer to my Salad' date='bread, and fruit issue . My Surgeon, who is awesome and i totally respect gave me this concise

and simple response to my query " Stop it ".... Needless to say he has a dry sense of humor .

he explained that its just the normal noises of the body adjusting to the new plumbing. I need to wait several weeks and try introducing it into the rotation again. Apparently every one has there own issues but they all work back into your diet eventually.

Oh, and im officially down 103 Lbs ... this is a very good day!

I'm exactly where you are. 9 weeks and 38 down. My clothes are loose but not enough to buy yet. I'm afraid of feeling crushed when I haven't dropped in sizes much.

Exactly. I've dropped a size. That's it. I don't know where I lost all the weight from.

I figured that, my team told me if you try something and it doesn't agree with you, try it again later down the way, just because it didn't agree with you the first time doesn't mean you can't have it later....Wow, you down over a 100 lbs, way to go, when was your surgery again? Congratulations!!!

HOLY MOTHER F****** DUMPING SYNDROME!!! Oh my goodness! I haven't experienced this until today. I got stupid and decided to try an oatmeal Breakfast cookie that I made my fiancé. I am SO sick! My heart is pounding out of my chest and I vomited twice. Yuck. I was worried I would never have this for accountability' date=' but whoa was I wrong! Never. EVER. Again.[/quote']

Dumping may be a blessing in disguise...I hope to heck to get it...just haven't pushed anything to try.

Today at work there was a 5lb hand weight on the desk next to me. I was on the phone and picked it up and did a few curls. Then I thought...I've lost over 10 of these in weight...wow...really put my accomplishment into perspective. Thought I'd share with y'all.

Today marked 9 weeks out for me. Down 39 lbs but not even two pants sizes. Makes me wonder where I lost the weight from. It's like I'm failing at this too. Everyone else gets to break up with Lane Bryant and Avenue. I feel like I'm stuck forever.

I feel the same way. I am 9 weeks out and 42 lbs down (38 according to my surgeon, but she didn't know I had gained 4lbs right before surgery. Haha)... At any rate, I see all these people losing like crazy an I wonder what I'm doing wrong!

      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.
