Today is one year since my surgery. Down 150 pounds and 60+ to go. Was hoping to be a bit further, but have had a 3 month stall, mostly because I stopped being so strict with sugar. Back in control and the weight has slowly started moving again. Feels good when I realize I've gone from a size 36 to a 20, from 364 pounds to 210. Can't wait to get under 200. Still very happy with my decision to have the surgery (even with all the sagging skin). Good luck to everyone as we move into our second year.

You started out at a low weight to begin with..i think u have done great! Maybe your body is more happy at 165 range? I wish i was closer to 170 myself but im happy at a size 12. Every is different but congrats on your year..i hit mine on the 5th.

Maybe try upping your calories? I eat 1200 to 1400 and i dont lose but i dont gain. I go over that sometimes and i lose lol go figure. Its all in tricking your metabolism and under 1000 isnt healthy maybe your body is in starvation mode? Try 1100 cals and see how that works..eat every couple hours and its very easy to get that much in.

It will all fall into place. :-)

I was doing the 1100 calories and working out but I gained and not just muscle. Even at 165 I am still overweight because I am only 4'11. My abdomen area is where the weight went back to. I am trying any and everything. High calorie low calorie. I can only eat every 3 hrs and it's small amounts.

      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.
