My surgery went very well and I am very please with the results. i'm coming up on a year and getting a little worried, because i find myself eating a little more than ususal. I workout at least 3 times a week, but i hat the fact that I still have a serious craving for sweet. I am for sure a snaker. Please help and give me a little advice. I'm trying and loving my results and dont want to gain a pound back!!! :mellow:

I had to cut back on my carbs to keep losing. I was averaging about 90 carbs a day but I was gaining and losing the same three pounds. When I cut them back to under 30, I began to lose again. I can eat a lot more than I could early on as well. I started eating a few chips here and there and drank a lot of milk. I also ate Peanut Butter and nilla wafers everyday too. Waaaay to many carbs for the losing phase. I will be able to eat more carbs once I am in maintenance but not now. Thats my advice. HTH.

I don't count carbs, calories, fats or sugars. I just exercise at least 5 days per week for at least 60 minutes. I also lift wts three days per week. I find that if I don't workout consistantly I won't lose wt and If I want to gain I just lighten up on working out and stop eating when full. I know that I should know my optimum levels for wt. loss but just adjusting my exercise level and time works for me..

I have barely started losing and both of the above people have terrific advice. You either have to eat less or move more or best a combo of both. You are doing so good.

For me it's still mostly about the food, although I do hike and work out to some extent. Going over 50 grams of carbs a day causes me to stall (on a 750 calories a day). If I gnaw on Protein and some veggies all day I will lose fast.

      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.
