I had the surgery 2 weeks ago. Lost 9 lbs pre-op and about 8 in the first week post op and 0 since. I was beginning to get worried.

You've lost 30lbs in less than a month. You are doing beyond great. You will have stalls during this process - lots of them. Weightloss even with surgery is not typically linear but rather more step like - you'll drop a bit, stay steady maybe even go up a pound or so, then drop some more, and on and on.

Thank you so much I was getting worries that I was doing something wrong.

do a search for the 3 week stall - you'll see lots of posts about people hitting their first stall the 3rd week out from surgery!



You might also want to start checking your measurements. Many people find that the weeks where the scale isn't moving are the weeks where they actually lose the inches as their body adjusts to the new weight,

      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?

      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.
