Its going to be ok. You may or may not see it right away but its going to happen. Stick with it. If you don't, everyone else here will tell you... you'll be sick and you will be hurting and you will be sad. I'm one of those people who doesn't see the loss right away and then boom 2 weeks later I've lost weight. I followed my pre op and only lost 7.5 lbs. But... that being said I was already changing my habits since February. Now that I'm post op I'm seeing the lbs come off just a little quicker but I'm also getting about 400 calories a day. Drink as much Water as you can, take your Vitamins and follow your diet. This is what is going to keep you healthy following your surgery. Kick butt!

Thank you. I have had to do the six month with the nutritionist per my insurance so since January I have lost 21. During this pre op so far I have lost 10.4. Today with losing zero on day eight it just threw me off. I think I do need to increase my Water and cut back on the crystal lights.

You are doing great! It could be a little Water retention. I buy those little crystal light drops and love them. Its ok to have that. There is no calories. The other thing I just got which might help you for when you get through surgery is NutriWise Protein drink enhancers. They are powder that you put in your water. 15 grams of Protein so when you don't want a thing but have to get your liquid in - they are a life saver. I bought the Lemon Razzy and it was really good. I also purchased Bariatric Choice drink enhancers. The blue raspberry wasn't so good but the berry was really good. Also 15 grams of protein. I hope they help you. I bought them on Amazon. Can't wait to hear your good news - you're almost there!

In my entire pre op week I only lost 8 pounds. You're doing great! Your body is likely just holding onto weight as it slides into survival mode.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
