Don't feel like that. In 5 weeks your down a huge number. In 5 more weeks you could be down another 35! That would mean 70 lbs! 70lbs that are gone for good! . Don't go by other people. That's not fair to do to yourself. When we made this decision we knew it was far from a quick fix. It will come errrrr go... I promise

Im 4 weeks out and have only lost 20. I was excited until my story group last night. Some people who are the same time as me Were down 30. I wanted to cry. Then I remember I have not been at 280 in 6 years! I know I should do more, get more Protein, more Water etc. But I can't. The nausea stops me dead in my tracks, the random diarrhea makes me nervous to go out nevrrmind go to the gym. Also I have fOund doing A 600 calorie diet then av day or 2 og increaSing it had helped.

Kinsee: You are NOT doing anything wrong! I know you are discouraged, but please dont be! Everyone is different and you cant base your loss on what others are losing. I too got discouraged until I put the scale away. I would weigh myself on a day I was feeling really good, an find out I gained 2 pounds. Then I would get back on in a couple of days and the scale would be down 5 pounds! I varies week to week and you are not doing anything wrong. I still have the nausea and sometime have the liquid stools that keep me from doing things as well. I am not an exercise person and am now finally able to do so, but have not done much. Baby steps is what they keep telling me. I retain Fluid regardless of what I do so the doc has me on a low dose Water pill. Hang in there my friend, you are doing great and the pounds will be melting off before you know it!

Joy: I know it can be discouraging especially when you are following everything to the "T"! Depression is totally common which is why the doc did not take me off my antidepressant that I have been on for years, he said that my body is going through enough changes to add depression would no be good. You are doing everything right, just hang in there and the pounds will be flying off soon enough. Within my 1-2 month post op, I was yo-yo'ing as well with the weight and my doc said that is completely normal as my body is in "shock" to my system.

I wish you both nothing but the best of luck and I look forward to hearing that you are both down pounds from this last post. Keep me posted and you can ask me anything :)

      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.
