3/12/13 date of surgery

5 feet 7 inches

SW- 262

CW- 241

Goal W- 150

I have been discouraged thinking that I had not lost much. But feel better after reading other posts.

Trying to figure out exactly what I should be eating now. I currently eat about 1500 calories a day.

Feel like I am often hungry and thought I would have lost more by now.

Maybe my expectations were unrealistic.

I had a hip replacement and have not been exercising.

Starting a Water aerobics class in May. Hoping that makes a difference. Also, going to start journaling my food.

However... the good part is i KNOW I am eating much much healthier and feeling better. So it has to eventually make a difference. So glad I had the surgery!

Honestly, keeping a journal of what I'm eating has made a ton of difference. I'm just 4 weeks post-op so not exercising more than moderate walking and that's not every day.

You're a couple of weeks farther along than I am, but I have realized the more Protein I'm getting the less calories I eat overall. The Protein keeps me fuller longer. I am also keeping track of my carbs, as I want to limit them. I rarely get more than 600 calories a day.

Whoops I knew I forgot something. Darn it! Surg dat 3/18.

I also won't to share that I had complications (about 4 wks) at the start which I'm sure helped with weight loss. I just started working out at the gym this week.

We are all doing great. Don't get discouraged its just the beginning of our journey. We haven't even gotten out of town yet! Just you wait!

I don't know what's going on with my body...still at a stall of over 3 weeks!!! Went back to shakes and 2 bars/day to mix things up, but keep losing and gaining the same lb over and over!! Had tried upping my calories, but that didn't work for me, plus it didn't make me feel good about myself. I am losing inches tho..any advice is greatly appreciated! Being out 7 weeks, it seems like I would be the veteran giving out advice ..***sigh***

      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.
