Recommended Posts

I was sleeved 11-8-12 and was 215 and I'm now 168 but I really thought I would have lost a lot more by now!!! I'm worried that my weight lose is over so was wondering if anyone else has lost this slow but still reached their goal? I seem to stall alot which is frustrating. I haven't been able to workout much because I have a bad back and I tend to not eat much during the day because I get busy with my two toddlers and eat late at night, now I eat lean cuisine at night which isn't.that bad but my hubby says that my eating late is keeping me from loosing weight...any advice would be appreciated.. Am I losing really slow because it seems like everyone else does so much better???

You need to get your Protein and hydrate along with exercise. Take your kids on a walk, push them in a stroller, go to a park, but make time to move. The more you move the better your back will be as the weight will go. But stop eating late that can't be good.

      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.
