I'm at the three month post op mark and I feel like my weight loss is at a very slow crawl! The day of surgery i weighted 226 and I am now at 180. YEAY I'm in onederland but, I feel the weight is not coming off as it should be. Is this normal? Or has the head games been getting the better of me? I know I need to be eatting more Protein I work out daily and get plenty of fluids. There are weeks where I just stay at the same weight.

Are you serious? You've lost 46 pounds in 3 months. That's 15 pounds per month. You are losing a pound every other day. How much did you typically lose in a 3 month period prior to surgery? I'm sorry, but I think this post is absolutely ignorant.

You're doing incredible.

You should be very pleased with yourself.

If you are weighing yourself everyday DO NOT do that.....

It's bad for your self image.

Your nutritionist and surgeon would say the same thing.

It's self defeating.

If you are going to weigh yourself do it once a week on the same day at the same time wearing the same clothes.

That's our lecture for today. LOL

Keep going on the path you are on and everything will be fine.

Ignore the harsh comments. Like me, you probably want your excess weight off, RIGHT NOW! Hang in there, be patient. The weight didnt add on overnight, and it will take time to come off. I just want to be sure that I keep it off! - Frank

      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.
