I am a liitle over 3 weeks post op, I initally lost 19 lbs at my 2 week post op appointment, but this week I have remained the same all week long just bouncing back and forth between the same 2-3 lbs, one day I will lose 2 lbs, and 2-3 days later I will gain them back it is very weird and frustrating, so I have stepped up my exercise which has just been walking at this point to see if that helps. I get my first fill the first week in October, so we'll see if that makes a difference. I count my calories and I take in between 500-1000/day.

YES! The same thing is happening to me! I got stuck at 18 lbs and my surgery was on Aug 18th. I exercise every single day and I'm just bouncing up and down 2-3 pounds. It's VERY frustrating!

Every-Single-Month during my period, I do not lose a pound. For six days, exactly, I stay at the exact same weight. On day 7, I lose about two pounds and spend the next week losing about a pound a day before things settle down to about .7 pounds daily :)

It happens to all of us. However, I have found that if I am drinking at least 64 ounces of Water per day plus an extra cup to offset any caffeine I have ingested it, the water gains/losses are diminished and practically non-existent unless it is related to TOM.

I am being rebanded On Sept 16.

I lost 68 initially. Anyway I found that it switched back in forth from losing lbs on the scale then when that stopped a few days I lost inches. Then back to dropping lbs a few days, then back to inches etc. It was really quite interesting.

      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.
