Quit thinking negative thoughts,we have to reset our thoughts to yes I can& yes I will! I had same thought day before surgery &Indian 10 lbs in 5days & I will have stalls but won't get upset @myself &neither should you.

You will lose weight everyone does. Some faster then others but the weight comes off.

Of course you'll lose weight. Think positive thoughts. You'll do great. Follow your program. Don't obsess about the scale and ask for help when you need it. And don't get too caught up in the success stories posted here. Everyone is different. I've "only" lost about 70 pounds in almost eight months. But I feel awesome and am still losing and am very happy to say goodbye to those pounds and SO MANY inches.

I actually do thinking about that too. Or that I will not lose as much as I want.

When I hit my three week stall I thought to myself that this wasn't going to work but I've lost like 20lbs since then. It works I you work it.

I've only known one lady who doesn't appear to be losing weight. She only took a week off work after surgery and was eating fast food (hamburgers and fries and soda) after 2 weeks. YOU MUST DO WHAT YOUR SURGEON AND NUTRITIONIST TELL YOU. If you do, you will lose.

I think most of us had this thought at some point pre-op...but now I'm 5 months post op and can say yes it does work! As long as you follow the rules and use common sense you'll be fine :). Some lose fast, some lose slow, not everyone will be a size 2, but if we do as we're supposed to we will be healthier (which, really, isn't that the goal???). It's so much easier when you're not starving to death all the time. Eating a taco and being full instead of eating 3 tacos with Beans and rice and chips and still wanting more....it's absolutely amazing. Such a gift an amazing opportunity that we have been blessed with!

I had that fear at 1st. When I hit my 1st stall even tho I knew it was coming..it scared me. Nearly 3 months out now and I feel amazing and think its tho best thing I've done for myself!! I think we all have the worry and insecurity. I tell myself now it's in my hands cause I keep working harder with my exercise and religiously log everything I put in my mouth. I am slower than most perhaps but I think it's going great!!!

Im so excited and know it's gonna work but there's just that little fear that, what if it doesn't? But I'm sure in a few months I'll be telling others how well it works instead!

It doesn't sound possible to be full after eating so little. I keep thinking wow, that's all I get to eat later....I'm going to be starving. We'll see...2 days away...just getting nervous, I suppose.

      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.
