I am so frustrated and disappointed with myself. :( I was banded March 19, 2010. I think that I lost most of my weight before the surgery on the liquid diet. I have gone to my follow-up appointments and I have lost very slowly with only a total loss of 27 pounds. I am so stuck....:blink: I don't exercise like I should but I do get exercise daily walking. I feel defective. I barely eat but I am at a MAJOR plateau... I need to jumpstart my weight-loss again... I want it so badly but I keep falling short. Any inspiration would be Appreciated! I wish I had a weightloss buddy . That would probably help...

I'm sorry to hear that and can relate with you to a certain extent. I was banded 2/8/11. While I think I have done ok so far, I KNOW for a fact that I could have lost a lot more weight. I don't exercise at all, so at least you are getting in some type of activity. My prob is I eat whatever I want. Mind you the amount isn't much, but you name it, I eat it. Including sodas, juices, cocktails etc. It all comes down to how bad we really want this. We didn't go through all of this to fail. Why put our minds and bodies through this process for nothing. Don't lose faith. Try changing up your diet, walk an extra 10 mins. Protein, Protein, protein! You can do it. :) Best wishes

I would go back to Clear liquids for a day or 2. That is bound to jump start you again.

      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.
