Did u excercise or just been watching what u eat? If u have been excercising what excercises? I m 3 weeks out lost about 12 pounds, started excercise yesterday and seem to have stalled!




I've been exercising as well, i didnt start exercising until 2 months out when i was cleared by my surgeon. I do about 30min of cardio 3x a week (elliptical) and then i started lifting weights. I do arms and back 2 days a week, and leggs and abs 2 days a week. Sometimes i throw in a third day of abs if i can. I like working with free weights and body weight exercises like planks, curls, crunches, dips, ect. I do still feel a little weak from the surgery, but im trying to build up my strength. 12 lbs is good for 3 weeks, my surgeon told me the average is about 4lbs/week. I lost a lot faster, but i had a really tough time in the beginning and couldn't get much of anything down. It took about 2 months for me to be okay eating and drinking the recommended amount. I had stalls randomly too, but dont let it discourage you! Good luck on your journey!

      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.
