So I haven't really gotten off track.. I've been following my food guidelines pretty close. I did try a Christmas cookie.. bite only here and there but nothing crazy.. I did find that sweet food doesn't have the same effect on me that it did before but I have to get back on track with my exercise.. right before the holidays I stopped because I was working 12 hr days have 2 kids and I work second shift.. my weight loss has slowed considerably. I'm down 1 lb since Xmas.. I'm 3 months out with a total of 64 lbs down.. I started my work outs again today.. its a new year!! And went back to tracking.. has this happened to anyone else?

I'm only 4 days post op from my revision, but I remember this happening with my band. I don't know if this is an option for you, but I saw some posts recently here from people who got a FitBit, and I ordered one. It seems like it would be motivating to have something that tracks all your movement and then encourages you to do just a little more. I also checked out a couple similar ones on Amazon...whatever you like, but it seems like something that would help motivate me, maybe it would help you too? Just a thought! You are working hard...it sounds like you did pretty darn well through the holidays with all that you have going on, Celebrate that!

confused :wacko:

not sure what problem you are referring to??

sounds like you handled the holidays quite well :)

You ate a cookie?you ate everything else well ?

your exercising, recording your food

"only" (not supposed to use that word :angry: ) down 1 lb since christmas?

this is a time period that people unfortunately gain a lb or two, or stay the same. you managed to lose 1 lb!!!

OMG girlfriend - down 64 lbs in 3 months???

your doing great - would i lie to you ;)

only "problem" i see is that your worrying too much ;)

can i nicely say GET OFF YOUR BACK" :o;)

congrats on your success - i know you'll continue to flourish

You made me laugh!! Thank you!! I guess I felt like I shouldn't have had any sweets but I didn't do what I've fine in the past like take a plate and watch tv.. lol I tasted one of my kids Cookies that we made and felt guilty but you are right. I didn't even think if it that way. I am worrying too much. You're awesome!!

      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.
