In August 2011, I weighed 167

In October 2011, I weighted 157

On my year anniversary, March 3, 2012, I weighed 156

Today, April 20, 2012, I weigh 155

I continue to eat the same amout of food, have increased my exercise to

no less than 3 days a week ( I walk and jog on the treadmill, no less than 30minutes),

yet, I feel my apetite is slowly returning and I am having difficulty loosing weight.

WHAT am I doing wrong?

Any suggestions/ advise?

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I am 5'2, highest weight was 232.

age: 49

Surgery weight was 217.

I journal my food intake and notice sometimes I get cravings for sweets or salt, I have also been attending Weight Watchers meetings since 3 months in, have been exerciseing 6 months in, usually meet my 62gms of protien daily, regareding Fluid intake, I don't always drink fluids on a daily basis, probably 8-12 daily, I've notice my appetitie is returning, I can now eat a full hamburger patty instead of half....I try to be mindful when eating, pausing, putting my spoon or fork down between bites. I am keeping to 4 meals a day with an afternoon snack (fruits or a drink). The appetite returning scares me and I try to increase my exercise or distractability, fluid intake and re-read my journal....I think I covered most of it.

I believe we would need more information about your eating habits. How much Protein, how many carbs, calories, Fluid intake, supplements, etc? Do you journal your intake? What does your doctor say?

We'd love to help and offer suggestions, but more info is needed!

Good luck on your journey.

      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.
