Oh okay, I was on 11/19/12. My weight on the day of surgery was 391 ...now I'm 365. I sometimes feel that I'm not on the right track as far as losing. How much have you lost?

You are doing great! It's hard, I have days when I see other people putting up ridiculous numbers for loss that had surgery the same day as me. And I get sad...

But other days I realize this is my journey and It doesn't help comparing to other people:)

That being said I was 225 on the day of surgery and today I desperately holding on to 198.

Hi again,

You know,thinking back,and reading that it was your first time for the bread and the rice,I remembered that we all try these things at some point.And a lot of us feel that same old self condemnation from before.But I also remember that this is how I learnt how to not do these things.

I would worry that I am eating way too much.Or when I had even a little bit of anything off plan that I was sliding badk into my old habits.I did push the limits and then would realize but wait,it is possible,and not so it again.

All this is part of learning what to do and what not to repeat.And I bet you a lot of people that says I have never...well,they might just not remember it that well.

So as long as you dont push your sleeve with too much and you remember Protein first,enjoy your food.Cook tasty food.Eat complex carbs in small quantity if you need carbs.

This is hard and I still freak out every time I have something that I havent had before and it goes down way too easy.I had a crazy moment earlier this week after eating mash and a few bites of cheesecake for the first time.One meal but it felt like I was right back where I started.

Month 8 I lost 14 pounds after I upped my cals and fats quite a lot (went full fat after reading studies on low fat).These changes messes with my my though but boy my body loves it.Everyone is commenting on how nice my skin looks these days.

You just keep working on this,one day at a time.

This kind of makes sense. I've stayed far away from carbs until these past 3 days. Maybe I just need to recharge and I'll be okay. I'm ready to hit it full force at the gym tomorrow to make up for the calories lol

I always mix up hunger and being tired. I really agree sleep more and take warm showers or things that relax you and it'll get better.

      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.
