Shanza, it looks like you're losing at around the same pace. I guess we started around the same surgery weight and you're a week a head of me and already in onederland. :-) I hope a I can say the same thing a week from now!!! 9 pounds in one week might be a stretch though, but ya never know.

Well, there's pluses and minuses. Although I am sure I had a little excess fat all over (definitely my face), most of it was in my abdomen (a lot of if the bad visceral fat). That's the sign of insulin resistance and T2DM. So, while it's all coming off in one place (and I may be looking a lot thinner faster), having T2DM, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, triglycerides and generally being a high risk for stroke and cardiac disease is not cool at all!! Hence, the reason I got this surgery. Women may carry the weight in their arms, legs, thighs, butt and some subcutaneous fat in their stomach--they usually don't get that bad visceral fat that is so dangerous. So, it may take women longer to see the results of their weigh loss (since it's coming from all over their bodies), it's still a better way to carry your weight than they way I am/was. I still have 40 pounds to go to reach my goal (although 30 would still put my at the weight I was when I was a trainer in college 22 years ago).

That's my short-term goal too. However, I have been dropping pretty quickly the last ten days, so I am kind of expecting to hit a stall sometime soon.

      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.
