If it makes you feel better, what you're feeling is completely normal. Only now at over 3 years out I obsess about KEEPING it off :P

Totally normal and, imo, healthy.

Getting obsessed and staying obsessed is how you are going to lose the weight and keep it off. :)

I weigh myself once an week and it's much better for me as I was getting to an obsessive point a few months back. Like if I saw a scale I would have to step on it and analyze the results. Also expect stalls and during those times don't drive yourself crazy. During stalls are when I have my biggest loss of inches. Also for me it helped to really get in tune with my body and what I need. Find a good balance of food and exercise and listen to what your body needs. For example during my time of the month, I always stall for up to two weeks. At first I was frustrated but now that I saw the pattern I don't measure myself during that time. It saves me heartbreak. I usually will lose 4-5 pounds the week after and then 1-2 the rest of the time.

Hang in there! I am 6 months post-op today, and JUST came out of a 7 WEEK STALL! This will pass and you will watch that scale continue to go down with amazement. Stay the course, do your part in this journey. It gets discouraging along the way. Just remember there will be many many bumps in the road, but victory is oh so sweet! Make sure to keep up with your Vitamins, Water, Protein, diet and exercise. Everything will happen as it is supposed to. Just keep doing your part. Sending love and encouragement to you!

      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.
