Me! I'm BMI of 36.6, with the serious weight-related issues, or, "comorbidity" as they call it, to qualify with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and pre-diabetic. My surgery date is May 31st!

I am five months out and only lost thirty pounds and I am seesawing between 278 and 285 I get all my protein, not all my veggies. I am worried about the amount of fat I am eating. I work out three to five times a week. Sometimes I can only take a few bites before I am sick then other times I can eat more then a cup of food. And now my hear is doing this and it's thin to begin with......any advice? Iamonlyhuman

Absolutely. Post op now. My doc/nut office only encourages us to listen to our bodies in regards to foods and what to eat. Don't eat just because it's breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Eat because you're truly hungry. I'm finding my stomach to cramp when I'm hungry. Granted I'm only 5 days out from surgery, but it's definitely been a time for me to learn my cues and listen. My body will change and I'll have more to learn and listen for.

I've got 165-ish to take off (roughly 50% of my highest weight) and I'm stalled at 20 pounds down on the pre-op diet. I'm struggling with hunger and impatience and defeatist thinking, but I'm trying to focus on TODAY. What can I "do right" today? This morning I got up and went for a 5k walk out in the sunshine, and thought about my goals of hiking and running and doing all my physical things. Then I drank some protein water and reminded myself again. I guess all I can say is try not to look st the huge overwhelming goal. Yes you're working toward that, but look at what's right in front of you. Do that right. And repeat.

so here i am, getting ready to get a sleeve on 5/30/17. after 3 years, 2 jobs, and 1 ex wife later the time has arrived. i started the all liquid phase monday amd am doing fairly well. been able to talk myself down when i get an urge. it seems almost unreal to be this close. its good to be here woth people that have gone through this and still are. Good luck everyone! if i can do this, you can too. keep your chin up and your head held high Sent from my SM-G935V using BariatricPal mobile app

4 weeks post op....its hard, you just have to push yourself. Try mixing it up a little. Blend it with Ice. Try the Iconic Cafe Mocha. Its a great protein shake with about 20g. Taste just like a Ice Coffee.

My husband doesn't eat fruit or veggies lol. He's kind of like a child ;-), but he's willing to try.

My wife has been losing weight right along with me even though she did not have surgery. It has been awesome.

Not a problem at all @bilbisgfy. I am happy to help. You will love the broth. I can honestly say that my experience here in Mexico with Bariactric Pal has been amazing. I am feeling better everyday and have felt so well cared for. Better then any hospital in the states.

I was a BMIer of 31 pre sleeve..
