This is going to sound crazy but I am not going to weigh myself for another 2 weeks when I go back to see the nutritionist .I am on soft foods.I can't take or handle a stall right now....Wouldn't be able to handle it...sounds crazy but I know me...compulsive.I need the first 50 pounds off to feel like this bypass is really working....sometimes I think..."did I really get a bypass?I really went through with this?"It blows my mind!

I'm due to get bypass in hopefully April. Waiting for some tests and the doctors decision then we move from there. I too live in Pittsburgh. Where about are you? I'm in the south hills. McMurray. Don't be so hard on yourself. Stalls happen. Not from anything your doing. It's just part of it all. Hang in there????

Hello, I'm new to the site as well. I'm 7 weeks out and had my surgery in Pittsburgh. I have already had a stall for about two weeks but started losing again this week. Frustrating, but I feel so good. I lost 60 before surgery and 25 post op. At 85 lb loss I'm half way to my goal. Best of luck!

April 26 will be our 19th wedding anniversary, so I will remember your date for sure! I had my surgery at Magee. It went really well.

Awe Happy Anniversary to you! I'm guessing that's why your name has 426 in it????

So glad your surgery went well. Guess we will both have something big to remember that date by!

      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.
