I reached Onederland today, it has been years since I weighed under 200. I should be thrilled but I am not, I have been hovering at 200 for a few weeks and it is my own fault. I could blame it on a stall, but it is really old habits rearing their ugly head. A bag of honey mustard pretzels in the afternoon, a cookie before bed, etc. Not nearly the quantity that I used to eat, but enough to keep me from losing. I have to take a step backwards, no cash in my purse means no money for the vending machine. My husband can't bring junk food in the house. I know he thinks I have moved on from that, but I am an addict and will probably never be able to have sweets in the house. I am scared now and appreciate the tips and support that I get on this board. I am so close but yet so far from being successful, Thanks for listening.

I am dreaming of Onederland myself.....at 205 I am so close but the scale just won't budge. I've increased my exercising hoping that by Valentine's Day I will give the gift of Loving Myself in Onederland.

I also think you should be proud of yourself for how far you've come...I think a lot of us can relate to that self-hate cycle that can sabotage any of our efforts...when I go through self-indulgent times like you describe, I know that I start beating myself up about it, which leads to more stress and anxiety, which of course leads to more yearning for my comfort foods...unchecked, I can get in a very vicious cycle I admit...when I have VSG, I am going to do my best to forgive myself for occasional slips and just get back on track...hang in there

      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.
