So I posted last month about me having surgery January 11th and post op weight was more than my surgery day weight, started out at 262 lbs .Surgery day 246 lbs, 1 day post op 257 lbs didn't loss any weight for weeks but notice the inches so everyone told me not to weigh myself for a while. So I did just that and I'm happy to say 6 weeks after I'm 230lbs. Tell me your simular stories.

I had surgery last Tuesday, Feb. 20. I was 222.8lbs. When I got home I weighed 228lbs. This morning I'm back to 222.8lbs, so I'm ready for the loss to begin. :)

Congrats to both of you on your success and for staying the course!!!

Yeah, you really cannot agonize over the scale. I don't own a scale now so I'll have to buy one. But I probably won't weigh every week. Honestly, the scale doesn't give you accountability. If you want accountability, use an an app like LoseIt to track your food and exercise. If you're honest with your food and exercise, the results should eventually show.

      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.
