I started my prediet mid April and had my surgery on May 2nd. I am down close to 54 lbs and I am losing an average of over a lb a day. I'm 6'0" and was 312lbs at the start of this journey. My target is to lose a little over 100lbs. I have been exercising regularly and eating very clean following my program exactly as my doctor asked me to. I'm not complaining but it seems like it's coming off too fast at this point.. is this normal?

I think your fine. I've lost 100lbs in a little less than 4 months and my doctors are very pleased with the loss.

I've lost 27 lbs in 11 days. But hey, I'm not mad at it!

I lost 100lbs in 5 months and none of the doctors/surgeons were concerned. The only time you need to worry about it is if it's because you physically can't eat (vomiting, nausea, etc), are an alcoholic, drug addict or have an eating disorder. According to my surgeon, that is!

Well, I jinxed myself. I've been in a stall for 5 days. That's what I get for being too optimistic! :)

      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.
