KEEP POSITIVE! FOCUS on getting your mind off the scale and do something to occupy you. My surgery is 2 weeks from today. Best wishes!

DId you lose some on your pre op diet? They say there is a 3 week stall. I bet you will lose a few in a few days. Your body probably just needs some time to adjust. Hang in there!

It's normal to stall around week 2-3. Don't get discouraged.

Today is two weeks for me too and I also had a 10 day liquid pre op. I went about 6 days with no more than about a 1/2lb loss :( ... started walking more, now not only do I feel 90% better but I'm starting to lose again. Seems like I'm gonna have to get used to the stop and go... its normal. I figure it gives me something to look forward to! Lol

I lost 7 lbs on the preop diet and 12 my first week after surgery. But nothing in the last week. It's just really discouraging. Do stalls happen a lot?

its been 12 days for me and I only lost 3lbs over the weekend after losing 15 over the first few days. Like everyone says keep positive everyone is different. It's only a matter of time before it all comes off.

      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.
