I also need help I'm 6 wks away from my one yr and I have not reached my goal I eat carbs and crap and feel like I'm hungry 24/7 I have lots of Water on most days at least 64 oz and have stopped going to gym, I know I'm setting my self up to fail maybe we can share and support each other. This week I decided to stop drinking for a month and see how it goes. I feel I've been sabotaging my diet with alcohol. I've completely stopped logging food and I need to get back to Protein packed diet, I keep saying tomorrow... Tomorrow I'll go to the gym suggestions?

There are a lot of empty calories in alcohol, so I'm sure giving it up will help. I have also noticed that if I eat carbs, I feel hungry. I really believe that carbs create hunger, not curb it. Protein, Fiber, and fat will make you feel full.

I also suggest reminding yourself the reasons you had for losing the weight. Write them down and say them over and over to yourself.

I'm not an expert, but that has helped me get back on track before.

For pre sleeve folks, my advice is to try and kick carbs, sodium and sugar habits about a month or two before surgery. This will make the 2 week pre sleeve diet oh so much easier and the transition into sleeve land as a post op easier as well. It is hard. I will not deny that. However, you will be glad to take care of head food issues before rather then after when you are also dealing with other physical or emotional issues. It takes about 3 weeks to form a new habit.

I upped my exercise and Protein to 90+ grams a day, I really try to get 100+, but sometimes end up at 94-96. I drink 2 GNC total lean shakes a day 50g and eat the other 45-50 in foods. When I want a snack, I have cucumber, green olives, cherry tomatoes or jack links beef Jerky, they are great and curb the appetite. If I want sweets, I add mio to my Water or hot tea and that helps. It has helped me stay on track. I am almost 6 weeks out

      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.
