I have my second weigh in at the surgeons office today. I am nervous because I know I am up like 5lbs maybe more? I have increased edema in my legs from working the last three nights and should get my period this week which for always equals a gain!

Also I haven't really tired to loose weight this past month, I was adding more veggies in as recommended by my surgeon but I have a long way to go on that one!

Tell me about your gains! What did your surgeon say? Did it slow down your progress?

????????????????????

My MD has been amazing. She doesn't know how to shame people. She is every hopeful of a better result the next time. It has been great working with her. I'm making slow progress and will be up some at my weigh-in next week but I know I can do better and she will believe me and give me more chances. I hope yours is a wonderful. :-)

I have gained 1-2 pounds almost every weigh in. Mostly Bc I have PCOS and when I don't get my periods normally it's like I just weigh more. But finally I have lost 2 pounds! My doctor has been supportive and went over portion sizes and how that can make you gain weight. I have a hard time controlling my portion sizes. I'm sure doctor will support you!

My dr is good about it too- my insurance is not from what I understand- but my dr requires liquid diet the 2weeks before and I should lose about 15-20 then. Does your dr require that? He says it will tell them I'm ready to change my lifestyle which is required to be successful.

My doctor doesn't require the liquid diet. My insurance I have a feeling is going to give me a hard time but I really hope they don't. My insurance requires 6 months of doctor supervised dieting. Does yours? I have bcbs of al.

      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.
