I looked up steatosis and that is fatty liver right? Well duh, I am thinking that we will have that fatty liver until we lose more weight and we are no longer obese?

liver was normal before surgery. Dr said it was from malnutrition. I have got to get more protein/calories in with out burning them all during Cardio.. my weight today is 152 pounds.

I am not sure about my liver lately, but I know back in 2007, I was diagnosed with a fatty liver.

When I had my post-op labs, my doctor knew right away I was not drinking the amount of Water he wants.

What are the labs called (name of test) that check for fatty liver? Is it creatinine?

So I have lost about 40lbs total and today in front of like six people someone said, you have lost a lot of weight, and they stood there looking at me. I wanted to run and hide. Took me by surprise and I didn't know what to say. I was embarrassed for the first time for losing weight and not for being fat. I guess I need to learn how to take a compliment in a group setting.

Abs I would have felt more confident if I had your belly band on. What's the tattoo on your ankle? My initials?

She is active on MFP. I think she was disappointed with a stall. She has had to get more active and eat more. She was trying to limit calories, but her body was fighting back wanting Protein and more fluids and activity.

I had my first 4 week checkup yesterday. Down 17.4 pounds since surgery, I was kinda bummed that it wasn't more. He told me to throw away my scale, that I should be judging my weight loss by how my clothes fit and how I feel and that he doesn't pay much attention to the amount that has been lost in a month, he only uses the scale to see a trend.

That is such great advice. I just got through a bit of a stall - I'd not seen a drop for about 6 days. But I could feel my body change, and I actually fit in some pants that I'd not worn in two years. Glad I saved 'em!

Thanks to you guys, I tried a little carb hit and that jumped me out of stasis.

Just went through some family horrors, and am so glad I got sleeved. This is exactly the kind of thing I used to eat my way through, but food is no longer the center of comfort for 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.
