I started walking in the hospital the night of the surgery--2 slow laps. Once I got home, I started walking through the house (house is kind of long--I did figure 8's!) for 15 minutes & after 2 days, I'd walk 15 minutes twice a day. I was so afraid of the idea of a blood clot, so I was pumping my feet a lot & walking around. Now trying to walk 30 min a day outside or at the mall lol!

I'm keeping track of food & weight on my fitness pal--it's so easy once you put the nutritional info in b/c we tend to eat or drink a lot of the same things & you just have to enter the info once.

My stats:

Pre-surgery 268 (2 wks Protein shakes)

Day of surgery 253

A little weight gain w/ swelling & IV fluids

2 weeks 245

3 weeks 237 (stall)

4 weeks 235 (stall)

5 weeks 234 (stall)

6 weeks 228

Way to go. :) Looks like you hit the 3 week stall. ;) but you seem to be taking it in stride.

Also, congrats on the tracking! That has been a key to my success. The surgery is a fantastic tool, but the exercise and using MFP EVERYDAY, that is ALL YOU! Get into the good habits now and it will make succeeding in the long run so much easier.

I am 10 weeks out and down 50 lbs it is so wonderful!!! I continue to stay between 850-900 cals because I want to lose 20-25 more. It really is life changing in different ways. I do not have the pain in my hips or knees as I did and I get to buy smaller clothes plus get compliments almost everyday. Best of all I am off my cholesterol medication and my GERD medication,

      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.
