Hi Everyone I haven't been on here for a long time. It's mainly because I've been discouraged. I'm now 9 months out and have only lost 2 pounds in the last 3 months. It's like my body has gotten used to the small amount of food that I'm eating and won't let go of anymore. I probably eat 1000-1200 calories a day. I also exercise daily but it won't budge. Is there anyone else out there who is experiencing this as well? I'm really down about it.

Hi, it'll be 10 months for me this week. I've lost two pounds this past month and only 40 overall to date. I'm hardly a success story! Haha

My 9 month check up was me at 200.1 and my doctor was so surprised I hadn't been easily under 200 yet. So they of course were thinking--- well she's not going on our success wall-haha

The way I look at it is that I've still lost 40lbs this year and nothing else I was trying would have done that for me.

I hope another -40 will be in my future and if it takes another year, well so be it! At least there is a possibility it'll happen more than ever before.

I have had a lot of issues in my way, horrible acid reflux, gallstone attack that damaged my pancreas and then resulted in removal of my gallstone. (omg pay attention to pains and get checked ASAP as it was the worst experiment of my life and 8 days in hospital)! And I broke an elbow in a fall and I'm just simply tired all the dang time, so it's been a rough year but every month I think it's better so I'm guessing I'm a slow healer as well as loser;)

Take it easy an just work at what u know you need and you'll reap the rewards!

      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.
