You are doing great. Each one of us is an individual and will loose it differently. To date (7.5 wk), I have lost 60 pounds. I still need to update my little tickler here.

Again, we are all different. You are doing a great job.

45lbs in 7.5 weeks is amazing! Normal weight loss for those who didn't have surgery is 1.5lbs to 2lbs a week. Please try not to worry about numbers....you will drive yourself bonkers! So never, ever, worry about whether or not your weight loss is fast enough. Anything lost is heading in the right direction! And....don't be surprised if you stall or slow way down along the way. Try to remember your weight loss is going to be completely different than anyone else out there. Best of luck to you! And congrats!!

      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.
