Well I've been in a stall for ages. It happens. I'm determined now more than ever to break it. Someone said to me " well your not losing any more weight are you?"

This wasnt said out of spite, just on observation . But dang! It bummed me out. She was right though, I haven't .

Well, my daughters just informed me that they are throwing us a 30 year anniversary party the last week of August! I can't believe we've been married 30 years!

Anyway, I need to get going here. I went through my older posts, which I highly recommend. It reminded me of how far I've come. But I feel stalled mentally . Does that make sense to anyone?

So what I'm asking for here is a pep talk! Dozens of pep talks! Arrrrrgh!!!

What wonderful children you have! You should give yourself a big hug and look at all of your accomplishments in life and with weight loss. If you want to lose more my advice is start over like in the early ages to get back in that mind frame :D

The dreaded stalls are absolutely the worst. To be eating so little and not to be losing, is frustrating...but the good thing is you have such a wonderful family! A husband of 30 years...I have to count my anniversary in dog years to get that high, wonderful children that will be throwing you and your husband a totally awesome party to Celebrate your time together and just think of the people who will be able to say WOW, you have made such wonderful changes in 30 years!

Good Luck to you...you look wonderful!!!

      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.
