I lost 8 lbs in the 2 weeks post op during my liquid stage. Then it has slowed to another 2 lbs the next two weeks. I won't get my first full for two more weeks and I'm hungry!!

Oh I had also lost 6 lbs pre op. :)

Right after surgery I did gain 6 lbs back due to whatever they pumped me with. My 8 lbs noted above are from morning of surgery itself and not the gain immediately post surgery, if that makes sense.

I lost 7 pounds preop. Then I lost 10 pounds for a week and half post op. Then it really slowed down for a bit. I came to realize though, that I was building up toward my period. Once I had my period, I started losing again. I will say though, that I have really been watching what I eat and I started walking on the treadmill.

I lost 20 on the pre-op....

Post op I lost 8 the first two weeks and then 10 over the next month.

Everyones pre and post op are going to be different.....I had 2 week liquid pre-op then 2 week liquid post op then 2 weeks mushies and then onto solids...

Hoping you are not doing any comparing with all these #'s...everyone loses at different rates!

So far I am super excited about my losses...just taking it one day at a time! :)

I lost 8-10 lbs pre-op. I'm now one month and a week post surgery. I've lost a total of 30lbs from October 2013-now. I dropped weight fast from the day of surgery until about 3-4 weeks. Now that I'm eating more type of foods, I'm averaging 1-3 lbs a week or so.

I lost 7 # pre-op on the 10 day liquid diet, then I lost another 15 # the next 2 -3 weeks post-op, then nothing since, it will be a month post op on Sunday the 19th, kinda getting discouraged but I have noticed that I have lost quite a few inches too! I also keep a journal of my weight and measurements ! I have to keep track of this oh so important journey that I am on!

      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.
