Today makes 4 weeks since my VSG surgery
The "average" is 15-25 in weight loss. I've lost 16 pounds as of today, but most of that weight was in the first two weeks. A stall for the most part this past two weeks. Depressing. But what can I do? I've already had the surgery, I'm doing everything I'm supposed to do. And I am working out.

Total weight loss
Preop diet = 23 pounds
Weight loss since surgery=16 pounds
Total weight loss
39 pounds (Since Nov 27)

(Kelle did the best she could with getting full length pics of me today. But the sun was her competition )

The bright side. If I didn't lose another single pound, I still lost 39 pounds I probably wouldnt have without this surgery. I am thankful for that

You're beautiful! Remember, there's a very well-documented 3 week stall that can happen anywhere between 2-4 weeks. Hang in there. It will come off! Congrats on the surgery and losses!

      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.
