I lost 17 pounds the first two weeks. I have lost 1 pound in the last 2 weeks. Kinda discouraging

Sounds like we are in the same situation. Hope it picks up soon for both of us!

Question for you ... Are you guys ever hungry? I don't get hungry I only get nauseous when I don't eat for a while. I need to do better with keeping up with eating.

Do you take an acid reducer? If you drink Water at that time - does the "hunger" go away? If this continues - talk to your surgeon.

My doc said I only needed to take it for the first 4 weeks (I'm at about 5 weeks now). It was making me a little Nauseous so I couldn't wait to stop it. If I drink Water it does calm the hunger down for a few minutes but as soon as I stop drinking I feel my tummy asking for something to digest.

I was starting to think this is the new norm? I only eat about 400-500 cals a day because even though I am eating every 2-3 hours I'm eating like 1 or 2 ounces of something.

My whole day is spent eating or drinking something. It's quite inconvenient especially if I'm out and about.

I weighed in yesterday at my one month anniversary. I'm down a total of 24.6 lbs which includes 4 lbs lost on my pre op diet. First two weeks or so I lost a little more than a pound a day. I'm at a good rate of 2-3 lbs/week right now, and so happy with that rate. I'm exercising (ran/walked 4 miles this morning-- I could walk 10-12 miles before surgery but could not jog to the end of the street, so this is big!). I have acid almost daily and am taking Prilosec. When I've lost 30 lbs my primary doctor will see if I can get off my BP meds. Lab work shows I'm

not insulin resistant anymore.

I'm grateful beyond my ability to express for this surgery and for this forum.

Plus-- we have a German exchange student who is living with us this year, he arrived earlier this week and is super athletic. He hugged me at the airport and said "you don't look much like your photo from June. I was expecting someone rounder. You are really quite pretty in a mom way!"

This is the best thing I've ever done done for myself.

Just curious what others are experiencing. I and 4 wks po and lost 20lb in the first two weeks. The last two I have only lost 2lbs. Is this normal? I am introducing new foods but sticking to Protein, fish, cottage cheese, cheese, Protein drinks and a few veggies.

Same here! What was your BMI starting out? I've been told & read repeatedly that lower BMI's drop weight slower. Then you know there's the legendary 3 week stall that can last for weeks. Hang in there. I've stopped going on the scale bc I'd feel discouraged. I now only weigh once per week.

      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.
