I'm a little over 2 weeks but I lost about 20 pounds. Feeling good for the most part.

@@megnun21 I'll be 2 weeks out tomorrow. I'm not even bothering tracking weight loss at this point - we had a lot of swelling and Water retention from the IVs and weight can fluctuate up and down drastically during this time. Concentrate on getting plenty of fluids (at least 64 ozs) and meeting your Protein goals. Don't restrict foods - eat as your plan suggests! There's no way to compare your progress with anyone else. We all lose at different rates - and have different amounts to lose. Just keep doing what you're supposed to be doing - the weight will come off. It's not a race.

exactly what KristenLe said! but if it makes you feel better - in the first two weeks I lost...NOTHING not even a tenth of a pound. Now at 4.5months out, I'm down 70lbs. So everyone loses differently but if you follow your plan, you will lose.

Heidi Kat. ... I have been stressing about not losing anything over the past two weeks and being concerned it would be a marker for after surgery. So glad to see your success. On the the next two weeks of liquids.< /p>

I stayed the same for about 10 days I think. My body is a fan of Water retention. ^^

I am two weeks out from sleeve. I was 202 day of surgery and 196 today. I was a bit bummed but getting compliments so I measured myself instead and I'm down 2 inches each in chest, hips, thighs. As a low bmi I was told to expect to lose half my 70 pound (surgeon goal) in six months. 35/6 is only 6 pounds per month. Better than I've done for years!! Just need to not be hard on myself and put the scale away. It's a bigger temptation than food. As for skin, I've added a Gummy hair, skin, nails supplement. Adding weight training as soon as cleared for exercise. Muscle behind skin matters to where the skin "belongs".

Yes. Me too. Was sleeved on 10/19 and my hosp weight was 388. I'm 370 now. 11/2 will be 2 weeks exactly. I did. Cheat at times and was shocked by how hungry I would get. But I am back on track and may extend my liquid diet another week to see if I can get down to 350

      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.
