Hello all. I have been gone for a while but I am back now. I had gotten extremely discouraged after a 3 month plateau, but I am happy to report, that I have gotten over the hump and am on my way. I had gotten so discouraged that I stopped using Protein Shakes, stopped exercising, and even though I still watched my diet, was a little less restrictive and controlled. I couldnt take it anymore! I was doing everything perfectly and just couldnt lose weight! I have had a lot going on in my personal life within the last 2 months, more than I am prepared to discuss, and stuff one person should not have to deal with all in a short amount of time. But through it I realized that I have to get back on track. I have to get my body in the shape and condition I originally set out for. I was tired of being "lazy" about it and wanted some damn progress. Though I havent really started exercising again yet, I have restarted my Protein shakes and restrictive diet. I am happy to say that by doing so, in the last 2 1/2 weeks, I have lost 9 lbs. Not to mention I have found my new favorite protein shake! :tongue:

Just remember, dont give up! Even when you think you can't do it anymore, find that inner strength to help push you back on track. Hope you are all doing well on your journey! To contintued success!:smile2:

Good for you getting back on track! Sometimes hard things in life make us turn to food. Do you think that happened to you? I enourage you to start your excersise program. It's so damn hard to start but once you do you will feel great. I write down everything I eat, that might help you get back on track. Best wishes, you can do it!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
