Please see my post I just made 100% real. What is your goal for loss? Figure out the percent to goal... 27 pounds means nothing without knowing where you started. We are all different and comparing by numbers alone with torture you when someone shares they have lost 60 pounds in 2 months! Have faith and keep perspective :-)

You are on track for YOU, and that's all that matters.

That's 1/2 a pound a day!!! (a little more actually)...so think about it that way...

Everyone loses at their own rate, follow your guidelines and you will be fine.

My goal is to lose 175 pounds. Starting weight is 355. PreOp loss was 45 pounds. 27 since surgery. I now weigh 283 for a total of 72 pounds loss since I started this journey. I guess that puts me at about 40% of total weight loss needed.

I started at 347, lost 35 pre-op. I am 7 weeks out and have lost 25 post-op. Our numbers are fairly similar. I feel like a slow loser compared to many people who post but, honestly, I'm enjoying losing steadily but not having it be so in your face, if that makes sense. I know I'm eating what and how. Much I need to but I'm not doing great at Water intake so that's what I'm focusing on improving at this point.

      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.
