I haven't checked my weight since May 4th because I walk 4 to 5 miles a day and I'm just scared to stall so I just said I'll wait til next doctor's visit

Sounds like you will have a nice number when you do weigh! I know what you mean about being afraid of stalling. I only weight once a week right now and may change it to once every two weeks or once a month if I start losing slowly. I gotta see a decent number!

You have will power. I can never wait.

I'm trying to get a monthly mindset because I feel like if I stall I'll be so down and out

I weigh every day knowing that sometimes it stays the same but it does go down slowly... I have rarely gone up and if is does it is just 0.2 of a pound or so.

Yeah that's my fear it happened in the beginning after surgery so I just stopped checking

After I was miserable because of weight stall starting my 3rd week post-op, my doctor's office & nutritionist said to only weigh myself when I came in to see them.

Given that the next visit will be in 2 months & the one after that in six months that strikes me as just a tad unrealistic but I understand the larger point which was to focus on Protein counting & amount of Water drunk and not the scale b/c it's a distraction.

I normally have a weigh in once a week, i hate it when i stall too as it makes me question everything that i'm doing even though i know its all part of the process.

      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.
