My body is REALLY irritating me these past 2-3 weeks. I normally lose a pound every 2 days ,even a pound a day for a few days a week.

Lately though it is staying the same for a good 3,4,5 days at a time and I haven't changed anything obvious I can think of. I eat probably around 600 calories a day, walk 2 miles daily (after an 8 hour active job), I know I haven't been getting enough Water or ALL the Protein daily for the last 3 months.(I would check my food journal but my daughter lost my notebook with the last 4.5 MONTHS of stats in it!).

I've lost 88lbs in 5 months since my sleeve, while I am stoked about the weight loss, I am floundering with the daily aspects of it. I am

getting annoyed and angry, to the point where it affects my mood sometimes. I just don't know what I'm doing wrong! Do I need MORE calories? (Obviously more water & protein but I've been losing without the min.daily amount for awhile now). Exercise more? less? Is it my PCOS? Is it because I only have a BM once a week due to laxatives cause I can't otherwise?(I've been trying EVERYTHING under the sun to have a BM a few times a week). HELP!!! What do I do???

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I would say to bump up your calories and your Water. I bought a 2.2L (74oz) bottle that I fill with sf koolaid or crystal light or what have you. Then I take it everywhere with me. To work, in the car, etc. My goal is to finish by dinner. If my water consumption is low, not only do I stop losing, but I gain. So start drinking more!!

      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.
