thank you

Sorry dmt but this is going to be a short thread. No one will know how to motivate you but you or someone close to you. I think if I'm ever in your shoes I will think about my wife, my kids, my grandkids and most of all me and the quality of life I want and desparately seek. I want to be there for my loved ones and don't want to be some slug laying in a bed waiting on someone to take care of me.

It's a slippery slope back to being a fatty and none of us want to be there again. The further away from that slope we are the more likely we will be successful in finding our goal/dream.

Are you tracking your foods? Getting enough Protein? Not too many calories? Maybe you need to shake things up a little. if you are doing a traditional diet...try a low carb one for a few weeks...see how your body responds. If you are keeping a very low calorie count...try adding a few and exercise a little more. Try substituting one meal with a healthy high protein/low carb Protein Drink.

I can understand being tired at the end of the day and not wanting to exercise....so how about getting up 30-45 mins early and doing it before work.You can also use your 2 days off (assuming thats how it works for you) exercise those two days and add in 1-2 morning exercises.

That last bit of weight is really hard to lose, it really does require counting lories or putting ypurself on a plan, and getting an hour of cardio per day

      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.
