Soo i am on my last 15 to 20 pounds that i have to loose. i have lost a ton of weight in 7 months.. but the last 2 i havent lost anything. it is very frustrating as all of you that have plateaued know. I like that the lose has slowed for health reasons. but not loosing anything has started to get frustrating. i was wondering if anyone has any tricks to kick start the lose for me. maybe like a supplement (not a pill) but i was looking at the acai berry. or like a couple day cleanser. I know what most of you are thinking. dont do that. or just stick with it. but i have stuck with it and really have been busting my butt for months. i dont want to get another fill. i just want something that will give me a last little push into the right direction. soo if anyone has tried anything. especially those who are on there last half of the weight lose i would really appreciate any advice. THANK GUYS!

a lot of people swear by this 5 day pouch test. It's really just that you start over like when you first got your band. 2 days

liquid, 2 mushie, and then solid. I dunno, you can google it.

Oolong tea is great for weight too!!

Are you using your food journal? I use Loseit on my iphone. I hadn't been using it but I thought I was doing good. Then I started back last week and figured out that I have only been averaging 38g of Protein a day. (I already have thin hair.) So I have added a Protein Shake each day and have been hitting the numbers. It is so easy for me to deceive myself if I don't have concrete numbers.

      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.
