I am only 5' 0" tall. I had my sleeve on 03/01/2012 and I have only lost 3 pounds in the last 2 months. The rules I followed and did not break and that worked for me were:

(1) no carbonated beverages

(2) no breads, pastas, or other grains

(3) really easy on the sweets - I drink unsweet tea instead or regular, I have 1 square of a candy bar instead of the whole bar, etc

Other things I did were

(1) remembering that after the sleeve I no longer can feel hunger so when I caught myself saying I was hungry I corrected myself and over time it became habit to say I am not hungry every time I see food I want to eat...

(2) I didn't force myself to eat. I didn't eat all I could to try to meet my calorie and Protein requirements- yes I did lose lots of hair but my bloodwork consistently looks great and I feel great. Some days I would only take in 200 calories other days closer to 600 right now it fluctuates between 300 and 900 typically.

(3) I weigh daily to keep myself motivated and focused on my health and body.

Everyone is different and I am sure there are critics already tearing this apart but the bottom line is that it worked for me. :)

Crystal: I love your post! I like that you stated that this worked for you and you are not telling others to this either. You are a success! Those are the rules that I basically follow and do have some foods I shouldn't. Keep up the good work and I love reading your posts. :)

      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.
