My hair loss started! however I have so much hair even if I lose half of it it won't show. Also since I started to lose weight my marital problems started now I'm going thru a divorce nasty and hurtful, I've been so depressed and busy going to court I forget to put 50 g of protein daily. It will be 5 months since my surgery and 4 months I've been lonely. I'm 5'2 150 lbs and I still feel fat, I'm scared to go out and try to date and be called fat or be rejected.

Just lost 8 lbs since My last post June 6. SW 204 CW 171

Hi butterfly2014, I had my surgery April15th 2014. I guess I'm scared that this will turn out just like all the diets I've done in my life, losing 10-20 lbs then gaining it all back. I guess I just need to get used to it and know that I will keep losing.

SW 204 Today I'm 179 I'm a little disappointed and I had a 3 week stall. Sometimes I can't help myself to think this is not going to work for me because I'm not losing a lot of weight.

"JeanZ_RN" Tomorrow I have my first date in at least 10 years. I'm so excited!! Found him on Plenty of Fish (which I learned about on this site). We've texted, emailed and spoken on the phone so far, and tomorrow we'll meet at a restaurant or coffee shop. I'm so excited for you!! Let us know!

Hahahaha! How did you like going on a date at Lowes? I love Lowes lol

Premier protein shake at Costco this week has a $5 discount. It's normal price is $24 for a 18 pack now is $19 I got 3 packs strawberry and cream and chocolate. They also have different hakes and whey protein powder. I totally suggests you get the membership it's worth it.

I started doing the pre op diet an on the second week I ate solid food. After surgery my doctor was very upset and said that he had to go around the the liver and that I didn't care for the risks I put myself thru by not following the diet the entire 2 weeks. So my advice is if he told you to do the diet, do it. Avoid complications and an upset doctor.

Surgery 04/15/14 weighted 204 today I'm down to 186. Nobody can't tell I lost anything just the scale lol. I can't wait to lose some more weight .

Me too I'm in the same situation. I lost 14 lbs the first week and didn't lose a pound in 10 days! I eat between 400-550 calories a day. I struggle with Protein some days I get 50grams other day max of 35. When I eat it's between 1 table spoon and 1/4 of a cup. When I feel like snacking I have a 15 calorie sugar free Popsicle I'm so frustrated I thought I would be losing at least 3 lbs a week due to the fact I'm not eating as much as I used to. I wanna be patient but I'm very scared that this won't work for me, sometimes I just want to cry. Me too I'm in the same situation. I lost 14 lbs the first week and didn't lose a pound in 10 days!

I have Federal Blue Cross Blue Shield and mine took a little over two weeks to get the procedure approved. I had to provide office notes for the past 2 years saying I that I was obese for that long also paperwork that I was attempting to lose weight for the past 2 years. I tried sensa, doctors shakes and all the diets you can imagine but I didn't have the paperwork for those. Luckily I was seeing a weight control doctor for 1 year and that with gym membership was enough. so far what I read on my insurance booklet is that federal BCBS PPO pays 85% of all the cost plus $250 co pay for the hospital. I will be 2 weeks out and I haven't received any bill but this is what I know for sure the insurance covers.

I'm feeling hunger as well. I eat sugar free 15 calories Popsicles. I just don't know what else to do. Broth is not enough and the high protein shakes are rough to get down my stomach I don't know why. I will try to make shakes today to mix with water instead of skim milk and 15 grams of protein instead of 42. I don't want to sabotage this. How can I be hungry? Is this normal?

I told my supervisor I would be back in 6 days. They don't have a problem giving me the time off, but I have to inform them when I expect to be back. I am a little upset the hospital could not give me anything to prove I need to be out. I will have to wait to the day of surgery to submit all the paperwork and leave request.

Mine is April 15th. I am on my my 6th day liquid. My weight is still the same. I am always hungry and it is being very difficult to stay away from eating which is scaring me. I am not having any problems having 3 shakes a day, I love them. How many days are you guys taking off from work? My job asked me how many days I will be out and I have no idea what to tell them. I requested some doctors note from the nurse, she said they don't give anything till the day of surgery. I wish I could avoid unecessary stress.
