liliana.. I have not been tracking my food, the most cals im getting are from my Protein shakes.. other than that im only able to eat an egg (breakfast), tuna w/light mayo (lunch) and small amount of protein for dinner( maybe a small meatball).. for snack I have some cheese.. I cant manage to get in more than a few bites so I cant even add in any fruit or veggies yet.. im working on it... and my stall has lasted about a week... I lost all that weight right before and right after surgery .. stopped about 2 weeks after surgery.

That's right - mostly likely the dreaded three week stall, which hits most everyone to one degree or another. This article -

gives a good explanation of what's happening. The bad news is that when you resume losing it will likely be at a somewhat slower rate, but the good news is that now it will be primarly fat, which is what we are here for in the first place. So rejoice, and enjoy the trip.

Congrats!! Im going in tomorrow and after reading this makes me feel alot less nervous!!

I can't say there's any trick that will help, sweetie. The cold, hard fact is that it may be a pain you have to endure. You are quite young, so hopefully you've not had to endure many pains, but this is one that you will have to come to terms with, because post-op will not be a picnic. Clear Liquids, full liquids, mushy stuff, soft food, then finally 'real' food.
When you think there is a choice in the matter, it is almost harder to do than when you KNOW there is no other way. Once the surgery is done. You have no choice. You must comply. I know you will be able to muster the strength to make it through. When I get really hungry and something sounds good, I get almost manic about it, so I know exactly how you're feeling right now.
2 years ago, i had a mysterious stomach pain any time i had anything other than Clear Liquids. SEVERE pain came with anything more. That went on for three of the most miserable months of my life. I actually cried when i saw food commercials. Weeping, sobbing.
I think that actually prepared me for this surgery. I look at the two week all liquid diet that i will go on as a piece of cake, because I know now what I am capable of. Take this opportunity to see what YOU are capable of. You will look back at in amazement at what you did! It's a pretty good feeling. It prepares you for the hard things in life. Things you once thought impossible, you can say, "aww, that's not so bad!" It's like....spiritual sandpaper. Grinding off the rough spots.
Keeping busy IS good advice. I wish you the best, and peace in the process.

GoshTiffanye, all liquids.. that has to be hard. I am able to have non starchy veggies anytime and in the morning a bowl of cream of wheat. My surgery is 3 days before you. Good Luck to you !!! I am on my 10th day of the pre op diet and stepped on the scale for the first time today and I am down 10lbs. Keeping busy and drinking is the key.
