Okay so step back and look at what you wrote....your surgery was less than a month ago and you've lost 14 pounds. You're losing 1/2 a pound a day. That's 1750 calories worth of fat that you are burning off your body daily. You are doing fabulously! Try to stop fretting about the number on the scale, do what your doctor says, and enjoy the ride! You'll get there!

I'd rather be losing slow! Gives my body some time to adjust and hopefully not end up like a flung squirrel. I want to lose the weight but I'm enjoying every pound gone. I've only went down 26 pounds but I'm thankful for that and every other pound that takes a hike!

I'd rather be a slow loser and not be able to jump out of a plane and not need a parachute lol

I start my weight loss count from the day I started the liquid diet, not surgery day (August 6th) - Down 52lbs. total. Crazy part is I keep looking at the scale (mine & the doctors) & then looking at my body & the numbers don't seem to make sense. :) I can tell in my face & in my pants, but otherwise I don't feel like I've lost over 50 lbs. already. Going by the measurements instead.... I think I'm just loosing it all over, maybe that's why it doesn't show a huge loss in my stomache! Anyone else feeling like that?

I'm down 17lbs since the day of surgery 8/26, but I also gained 21lbs in the hospital. Down almost 50lbs since I started this journey and I am just starting to see the difference.

Surgery was on 8/14, 4 weeks today and down 36lbs. But it has to be because I can't seem to transition to solids yet. I'm drinking my Protein and finding many ways of getting in my fluids.

Being off work on vacation like this I would normally be trying to put everything in sight in my mouth. It's so much different now.

      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.
