53 down since 2/1, but started third week of stall. Strength training and cardio at the gym. Hunger never left, hardest in the evening. Working on the head game. This is an amazing tool. Trying to develop better relationship with food and old desires. One thing I have never felt before, I am enjoying the workouts at the gym.

I was sleeved on Feb 28th starting weight 205 current weight 173 so a total of 32 lbs. I have hit a stall and I am very concerned. I worry to much. Can the stomach stretch back out? I am able to eat 900 calories a day. I work out 3 x a week at Zumba and do an elliptical the other 4 days a week. I think I just need the scale to budge, I would like to see 169 lbs soon.

Thanks for the straw info. I was told I could but wasn't sure if it would make me gassy.

I think I can get more liquids in that way too.

      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.
