Sounds like you are doing great. I lost 50# before anybody noticed! You are overthinking things but rapid weight loss releases hormones so many of us felt emotional in those early months. You will do fine.

You're fine. I prefer not to weigh myself at home because it makes me crazy. I try to only get weighed at the doctor's. Sounds like you are doing okay. Just keep it up.

Yeah, you are probably putting too much effort into the thought process...lol. Not that you are alone among us! I was at 3 months and had quit watching the scale as I only lost 2 lbs the entire month of June, when all of the sudden I put a belt on and realized there were not enough notches on it. I went from a 48 inch waist to my current 38 inch waist in about 5 months. Even if the scale isn't moving, your body maybe redistributing things! Best of luck to you

Try taking a picture and put it side-by-side with your before picture; that should do it! Sounds like you're doing really well... congranulations!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
