Who must weight does your doctor want you to loss? Mine wants me to lose 118 lbs. I went and got my smaller pants out of storage. Sizes 12 - 22. If doing the diet correctly. How long does it take to loss a pants size?

Everyone's body is different. Some can lose 50 pounds in 12 weeks and others are slower. The more you have to lose the quicker you sometimes the more you lose initially. It all depends. If you exercise, work out, and really get your Protein in you will do well. Many (most ) usually lose their first 100 bt 9-14 months.

It totally depends. I was able to still wear my 3x pants as I lost the first 50 lbs. Then I dropped 2 full sizes in pants almost over night. Then I stayed in the same size for about 30 more lbs, then lately I dropped 3 more sizes even only losing 5 lbs! There doesn't seem to be any rhyme of reason. You were smart to keep your smaller clothes. I had every size under the sun and got rid of them all. WIsh now I had at least a couple of outfits in each size.

      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.
