Watch the carbs...track them with myfitnesspal or some type of tracking program. If you are working out more than before you possibly are putting on some muscle, so you can expect some gains. Make sure you are getting all your protiens and waters in. More cardio helps too. At about week 3 your body adjusts to the sleeve and holds on to the fat much harder than before. Going as low carb as you can, and getting in all your exercise, is going to get you going again.

I stalled for 2 weeks and things just started moving again as of today, finally!!! I added some yoga and a little more walking to my routine. I also started taking Fiber caplets (go figure) everyday and stopped taking Iron (my doctor recommended this). I don't eat anything with wheat in it, sugar, or beef(makes me sick). I do eat whole milk ricotta, full fat cheese, 2% yogurt, fish, Beans, shrimp, and smoothies made with spinach, fruit and yogurt. I also add ground flax seed to my food as well. Not sure what is helping (thinking it's the exercise more than anything) but I thought it would never end.

      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.
