Every loses at a different pace. As long as you are sticking to your plan, you have nothing to fear. You are ahead of me at the two month mark. I was only at about 23 pounds down in my first two months and I still managed to lose all my weight and have been maintaining under goal for almost a year.

I'm so glad I found this post! I'm at exactly 2 months since surgery today and I've lost 22 pounds. Although I'm really happy about that- I feel like I should be losing more too. Especially since I feel like I don't eat much... I think I need to walk more- I feel much better but I was hoping for more weight loss. It seems to be about 2 pounds a week at first and now I've stalled for the past 2 weeks.

@@alohagirl22 You started at a lower weight than many of us - so your loss will be slower (% will be very similar though). You can't compare yourself to others! Also - make sure to get enough Protein and fluids every day! Eating less will not help you lose faster - your body will go into starvation mode and hang on to the weight. However - 22 lbs in 2 months is excellent for someone starting at your weight. Stay strong!

I'm 5'1 and my SW (day of surgery) was 206.2. I'm 7 weeks post op and have lost 27.8lbs. Total with 2 week pre op is 41.2. My doctor said between 20-30lbs for the first two months is great! :)

      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.
