*wave* I started at 210 (in August), was at 192 by the day of surgery (9/21) and now I'm 183. (3 weeks out) I'm amazed when I see people who lose 15-20 pounds in the first few weeks after surgery. This feels slow, but I'm not sorry I did it. I'm sure it will come off. :) This last week (my 3rd week, lol) I've basically not lost anything. But overall, I've lost 27 pounds and I certainly can't be upset about that. :D

I'm in the same situation. Losing slow but still losing. Down 30 including pre op diet. I am finally at the point that I'm glad to have done the surgery. I dont enjoy food like I used to. But I guess that's what got me in trouble in the first place. I am 8 1/2 weeks out. I am still nauseous a lot. Hard to drink enough Water. Tastes awful. If i eat anything besides really safe food like yogurt or Soup or shakes. My stomach hurts anyone else? When does it get better?

When I did my surgery I was 227 and I lost in 1 1/2 month 33 lbs. I wished I had lost more but I am okay with what I lost. I had the sleeve done , I think the By pass you loose faster but you have more dumping and the other stuff.

      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.
