Almost 20 pounds per month sounds great to me. Awesome job.

I was sleeved 6/12 and lost 20 preop and 20 since surgery. I am a little bummed too :( I was hoping for more. But if we follow directions I think it will start coming off, at least I hope!

I was sleeved the day after you and have lost 29 pounds since surgery, 34 in total. I'm just trusting the process, doing what I'm supposed to do, and letting the scale be. I'm not going to fret about it. That's what I have to tell myself ever day so that I don't obsess about every little up or down. After years of obsessing about my weight, I need to just trust that this will work.

You don't have in your profile what your weight/BMI etc... If you started out at 5'9" and weighed 200 and now weigh 163, that is outstanding! If you are 5'2" and weighed 600 and now weigh 563, I would be a little concerned.

On face value, your loss looks very good. Are you exercising daily? What foods have you introduced? Remember the goal in the early days is to set yourself up with lifelong habits.

I was sleeved on June 9 and have lost 40 pounds total (14 during pre-op diet and 26 post-op). I've stalled twice already but I am very satisfied with the amount of weight loss. I have tried to lose weight MANY times before but at about the 25 lbs. lost mark I usually began to have huge cravings and craved in. I had absolutely no will power at all - but not this time. I am following the guidelines and do not feel as though I'm missing anything. I am breathing SO much better already and have become pretty active compared to my previously sedentary life. So whether it takes me 8 months or 2 years to lose my extra weight I am progressing every day and this time I know that it is only a matter of time and my ability to be patient.

      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.
