Ok so here is my question, I am 4.5 weeks post op and have done very well (57 lbs) however, the last week and a half I am only losing 1 pound a week. Is this normal. What have other people lost (I had the gastric sleeve)

Absolutely normal, stalls come and go. I am about three months out, and am down around 90 lbs, 10 lbs to my goal weight of 175. I miss those days where I lost a pound a day, but now it's anywhere from 1-3 lbs a week.

Normal and you will have many stalls along the way. Just stay on track and dont get complacent about the "rules" ypur surgeon has provided.

Enjoy the first year, it becomes harder to lose as time goes on; your hunger will increase and you will be able to consume more food.< /p>

Completely normal. I'm 6 weeks out, and I hovered for 10 days. Then resumed the decline.

MD told me "don't weigh yourself every day". But, I enjoy the small victories as well as the big ones.

Best of luck!

      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.
