Surgery 4/22/15, lost 33 lbs so far.

1/3 of my desired weight loss. It's starting to own down a bit. Hopefully this stall will end so I can now start the typical weight loss pattern.

Looks like we are on the same track.

I was hoping for more but hopefully when I start working out it will go faster.

I'm half way through my 5 th week and finally hit my stall. I'm not complaining, I was waiting for it. However I'm still not getting my Protein in, I'm really trying, but the most I can eat is 2 to 3 bites and I'm full. Is anyone else experiencing this?

It depends on what I'm eating. If I make it something moist & take baby bits I can eat more.

@@MichelleTN, I am a bit disappointed that I am only averaging 5lbs per week, but am thrilled to be losing 5lbs a week at the same time. I feel as though I have gone through and am going through too much to have made this surgery worthwhile at this point. I am 34 days post-op and have not felt well one single day. I wake up each morning hoping to feel well and to feel this major life change was worth it. It isn't today, but maybe tomorrow. Until then, I am at least down 5 lbs a week!

Finally broke a stall I was in. Got up this morning & down 3 more lbs. Starting the gym next week, hopefully that helps.

Hope everyone is doing ok.

Had my 6 week checkup. Never thought I'd hear a Dr. or anyone say I needed to add more calories to my day. :-)

      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.
