When they perform the operation, they pump your body with a lot of fluids and gases. As a result you gain some surgery weight. This should quickly go away. At this point you are around 11 days post-op. Your body is still trying to heal after the surgery. Give it a little time and stay on the regiment.

I stalled at two weeks post op, but third week started losing again, when I weighed in at 4 weeks I was so shocked too actually see a 26 lb. Weight loss, keep getting in your Protein, that's the most important :-) u can do it!

I am 4 days out of surgery. It went well, I got home, and wow did I miss the PCA! Also the easy out and back in bed. Everyday I feel better. My husband and I went for a stroll. It was so beautiful outside and I could smell every blossom. Heaven. My nose is supper sensitive and the house smells are hard to take. I ate yogurt today and it was good mixed with some vanilla Protein powder. Each new accomplishment feels satisfying. Go me.

      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.
