What is your rate of weight loss???
mav2126 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
How much are you losing over what time period??? I want to understand the rate that people are losing weight over time. For example I lose 2-3 lbs. every 2 weeks. It seems like its gotten into a regular rhythm. -

i broke my stall. I was stuck at 228-229 for 2 weeks and I just weighed in at 225. Woot! Woot! I can't tell you how stressed I was during the stall. I thought I would never lose weight again and that I wasted all this effort on the surgery. Man it was a roller coaster. Not fun.

I am 4 weeks out from surgery and I am starting to realize that I will lose weight, then stall, then lose weight, then stall, etc. etc. Is stalling constantly just a normal part of this process???

Ok. So I am 3 weeks post op. I decided I didn't want to be on puree anymore and jumped to normal (healthy) food - definitely supplementing with protein shakes. I am tolerating everything well. I am just listening to my body and taking it slow but I am definitely eating ahead of schedule by a couple of weeks. Am I a terrible person?
-
So i am 2 weeks out and only 1 week left of the puree diet. Pureed diet is rough - really boring and I am looking forward to start to eat regular food again.

I am 1 week out of surgery. First couple days we're rough and felt like a big adjustment. Now I am in puree and not really liking it. Looking forward to get to real food. Ate scrambled eggs - only one egg - and that was good. No aversions or changes to taste buds. So it feels like not much has changed. Still crave bad foods... -

Liquid Diet Starts Now!!!
mav2126 replied to mav2126's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Its the end of my 7th day and I am still alive. I think you do get used to being hungry between drinking shakes. Only 7 more days to go and then it is off to surgery. I took 2 weeks off from work but I hear some people are fine in a couple of days. I hope that will be my experience. -
Liquid Diet Starts Now!!!

I think it is still hard. I am on 6th day and it is still hard. But I have stuck to it and have had zero cheating and I will continue to stick with the program. Sorry to hear you are struggling. Stay strong. -

Thanks Trixie. I noticed when I am at work I am not hungry. The second I get home and have time to think I am hungry. :-( -
Ok folks. It has begun. I had my "last" meal last night and started the all liquid pre-op diet today. It wasn't bad. As long as I drank a protein shake every 3-4 hours I had no hunger.

I think I got it to work. Thanks.

That is a good idea. Just sleep my way through the pre-op diet. :-) By the way how do you get that graphical thing on the bottom of your post that shows your weight progress? Everyone seems to have one of those except me. :-(

Scheduled for 6/27 - starting pre-op diet next Wednesday. Here we go...

Ok. So I am starting my pre-op diet on Wednesday. Little nervous about it. How can I stick to just 5 shakes a day - less than 1000 calories? I am allowed raw vegetables after 3 days.
