Why can't the fat just disappear everyday?

Feeling like this may be the longer than the 6 month pre-op wait some days!

So, anyone watch Dr. Who? One of my favorite episodes:

The dreaded stall! Well just keep hanging in there and remember the three most important elements after weight loss surgery is to meet the daily requirements for Protein, fluids and Vitamins. Do some exercise. And then wait for the magic to happen.

Hang in there, stalls are very common.

Maybe journal your food, Water, Protein and exercise to see if you are following your post WLS plan.

I asked my doctor about quickly losing 10 pounds of ugly fat, they recommended cutting off my head -I need to find a new doctor. :)

At least your doctor has a sense of humor!

I was only making a joke. My PCP isn't like that.

      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.
