Hi there! I looked at your public profile and it looks like it could be mine! I started at the same weight and I currently weigh the same as you! I had my surgery in Sept of this year and my doctor told me not to expect typical results because of starting with a lower BMI. Research what others with low bmi's do to "jumpstart" their weight loss and see if anything out there might work for you. Increasing cardio and add weight training. Go back to liquids for a couple days. These are some that I have read about. Good luck and I hope you find something that works for you!

Just curious, how many calories are you getting in your diet? And how much Protein. I have learned on here a lot of people have this problem when they are eating too few calories. Your body goes into starvation mode and holds on to every bit of fat. Especially if you are working out and work hard at your job. Many have recommended between 1100-1200 calories if you are very active. I am only a little over 3 weeks in, but week 2 i didn't lose a thing, but I upped my calories and started dropping again.

Good luck to you.

      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.
