Amazing progress!

Don't get discouraged when you hit a stall here soon. They usually happen around 3-6 weeks post op. It will just be your bodies way of taking a break after your amazing loss in such a short time.

How long does that usually last?

That's wonderful. I'm one who gained weight after surgery. Fifteen pounds! I'm one week out and have lost 9 of that. I'm not letting myself get depressed, but your great success gives me hope. Thanks for sharing.

Depends. One week, maybe 3. The thing about those pesky stalls is they may be annoying, but they are just part of the whole process. And the scale may not be moving, but you'll probably still be losing inches, so take measurements!

Yes, do that for sure! You'll be happy you did! It's really nice to have pictures and measurements to compare and see how far you've come. You'll be amazed the difference just a few weeks makes :) Imagine looking back on them a year from now!

      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.
