Today is day 28 post surgery. Pre consult weight 11/23 was 255. SW 12/8 was 249.6. Today at dawn: 228.0. So 21 pounds in 21 days, that's nice and steady on paper, but it was like 14 pounds in 10 days and then a 10 day stall where I lost inches and not pounds. The third week stall is a thing, and it happened to me. I am 5'11" and my goal is to get down under 185. My doc said at my surgery weight of 149, I was 100 pounds over IDEAL weight... But I don't know that 149 for me IS ideal. I looked pretty skinny at 185. So, that is my goal. Under 185. I wonder how long this will take? At 4 weeks, I have somewhat gone off the reservation with the liquid-vs-blended-vs-puree. I decided to keep my sleeve secret from my family. So at two weeks, I was at Christmas vacation with the big group. I did tell them a partial truth: I had ended up in the hospital with dry heaves so bad I was admitted for two days (which is exactly what happened after my outpatient procedure) and I wasn't going to eat much and don't worry about it. No one did, much. So, I had a nibble if veg-puree and gravy, wet BBQ, eggs, a crumb of biscuit, etc. The results have been mixed, but I am pleased. Tracking every gram of Protein an calories. Ugg. I hate protein shakes....

Good morning all. I'm still 2 nutritionist appointments away from setting my surgery date. But already the nerves are starting. All of your posts are so extremely helpful and insightful. I wish you all much success and God bless

      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.
