I love reading all these posts of fantastic losses. Very inspirational and gives me hope!

My body is not playing ball although Im doing everything as directed. I'm 2.5 weeks out and have lost 4lbs. (I lost 12lbs during my 2 weeks on pre-op diet) and Im beginning to wonder if I should've flagged surgery and just stayed on pre-op diet! Ok' date=' not really ;-)

Congrats to all of you losing amazing amounts. I hope to soon join you. :-)[/quote']

Hang in there your body is being stubborn, figure we didnt get big over night so even with surgery it may take time for things to readjust :)

I did a TON of walking. I never ate anything that had sugar in the ingredients or high fructose corn Syrup. Made a huge difference for me.

Anyone mind sharing their starting weight? I'm starting at 230. I've been told people with lower bmi sometimes lose slower :/ just curious

The day of my surgery (2/11/13) I was 233. Today I am 132!

I started at 245,,,pre-surgery weight was 230 (surgery August, 2012) and now weigh 170 as of July,2013. I'm unable to walk so only get weighed at hospital visits.

      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.
