I was doing so good until a couple of weeks ago.

I fell and broke my ankle and had to have surgery and a plate put in my ankle.

Now I am off my foot for at least 8 more weeks. There goes my walking. Granted I never was into ex cerise but I was really being good about walking. Now that is totally out.

I have not been able to get on a scale for a couple of weeks, plus all this stuff on my foot and leg I would weigh more anyway.

I feel like I am eating right and not much at all but sitting all this time I feel like everything is going straight to my butt.

Well I guess I will find out tomorrow. I go for my 6 week follow up with Dr. Nick.

Unfortunately life doesn't stop just because we have wls hun. Accidents happen and sometimes you have to get over one thing before you can concentrate on another.

Rest your ankle and you will, hopefully be able to start walking again before too long. xx

Shy Lady: I know it has to be hard with the broken ankle but I looked at your stats....you are doing incredibly well....relax, maybe it will be a little slower than you would like, let yourself heal, give yourself permission to watch tv, read a book, don't worry about the exercise....you will get better, you will be fantastic. Good luck.

You are doing great and I bet you will lose while you are off of your feet. I severed a tendon a year ago (before my sleeve) and my weight dropped unexpectedly. I believe you will be pleasantly surprised. If not...hey you will lose this weight, step by step is what I tell myself every day.

Make sure you hang in there with your Protein so you can heal quickly. It'll be okay. Good luck to you!

      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.
