I am 4 months post op. I am very happy with my weight loss, though it feels like it's going slow. I am down 53 lbs. I started back doing cardio after 6 weeks post op and I am addicted to exercise.

I just wonder if others are experiencing slow weight loss. My doctor said all that matters is how I feel. I have to admit that it is really exciting to fit in a size 16 again!

Congratulations. You look great!

By the way, you're not losing slowly. At 6 months out I'd lost 53 pounds, so you're losing more rapidly than me if you lost this amount in 4 months.

53 pounds in 4 months is 159 pounds in 1 year if you look at the long term.

Anyhow, keep up the wondrous work. :)

This is a an update. I am now down 59 lbs and I've started adding weights back into my workout routine to combat the sagging skin on my arms and stomach. I feel great!

I agree. With what every one is saying. That is great progress. Just think most diet programs say you can expect to lose 1-2 pounds per week.

I finally hit 60 lbs down, but it just keeps getting harder. I have to keep increasing the intensity of my workouts and record my food.< br>

You can do it. Stick to your diet and exercise regularly. I am now down 65 lbs. It's going slow, but the scale is moving.

      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.
