Almost 9 weeks out I know your not suppose to compare to others but I feel like I'm struggling to get the numbers on the scale to move like I see for people at this point I work out 4 days at least a week, just frustrated any words of wisdom? I've lost app 30 lbs so far and the last two weeks I loose and gain the same lb.

Don't worry, weight loss can stall at times. Just make sure you're getting your required Protein and Water.< /p>

Im sure you have been told this before, muscle weighs more than fat. Also, take your measurements now if you haven't done so already. I found when I wasn't losing pounds, I was losing inches. Don't be tied to the scale. I weigh now about every 2 wks or so. Don't let it discourage you. You will hit stalls. Did that in the beginning and a lot of my Facebook friends did too. Some as long as 3 weeks plus. Everyone is different. Get your Protein, Water and Vitamins in and enjoy the ride. You will get there, one step at a time.

Thanks guys I have went through my food logs and sadly my Protein has been under my requirements as my Water. I always worried about being dehydrated but my( and sorry if TMI) urine is not dark or odorous could I still be dehydrated? And if so will that affect my weight loss.

When my granddaughter became dehydrated, she ended up in the hospital for iv fluids. So be very careful. You really need to follow your Drs guidelines.

      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.
