I would count that as a blessing. I am 10 weeks out and still get hungry like you did initially. Can I ask what your typical menu is? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Congrats! 50lbs is a lot. Bet you feel great! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

It will be worth it! You will be able to eat again. It's just a process. Everyone is nervous before surgery. You won't starve because it's totally different than trying to diet with a full big stomach. Good luck tomorrow. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Check craigslist. Sometimes people post weights and stuff for cheap Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Try "tone it up" videos on YouTube. They had a tv show before. They have great exercises. Also Dr Mathew Weiner (weight loss/bariatric surgeon) has a good YouTube video on exercise. Can you get some weights and just do strength training at home ? Or squats, lunges, etc.. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Maybe look into "carb cycling" where you alternate high and low carb days. You have been very successful so far. What is some of your staple foods you eat? Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks for the ideas! How much Protein in the carnation drinks? I cannot tolerate shakes anymore. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Where do you get the parm crisps? Been looking for them Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hang in there. This too shall pass! Our bodies are all different. Yours just might be working to heal right now. A pound of muscle and a pound of fat still weigh a pound. But muscle is leaner and takes up less space than fat. You are building muscle with is leaner than fat so you are probably losing inches.(fat). My Dr said the reasons we lose the way we do is unknown. We could eat the exact same things week to week and might lose one week but not the other. Try looking for other things to motivate you rather than the scale. I know it's hard because the scale is how everyone measures success Are your clothes looser? Do you have more energy, less aches, moving around better? My Dr said to put away the scale and try a smaller pair of pants on weekly. You will probably see results there. Good luck. Feel better!!

I gave up shakes early on. Surgery was November 9th. I now get all my Protein from food. I couldn't tolerate the shakes anymore. I keep trying but instantly they make me nauseous, I get chills like I'm going to throw up and diarrhea. I can tolerate GENEPRO protein if I add it to something but most days I don't need it.

I start hiccuping or coughing when I've had enough. A few times that didnt happen and I took that one last bite and just needed to spit it out (sorry don't mean to be gross) Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I saw that on my 600lb life too! The Dr said you can stretch it by eating badly like you used to. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

It probably is your metabolism kicking up. You might lose more weight that way. I notice the days I feel hungrier are the days I lose. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I haven't gone anywhere yet but I've been reading up for my trip to Punta Cana. Try to eat your Protein first and bring an insulated tumbler to keep your Water cold. Bring some raw almonds, tuna pouches, and protein powders to add to food if needed. Just wanted to also say I am so jealous! I love Kauai!!! My favorite place ever is the Napali coast. Take the Napali coast boat tour. It's gorgeous!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I will eat a few almonds, some cheese, or one of those P3 packs. If I don't then I really get hungry unfortunately. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
