I had my gastric bypass surgery in 2006. I've lost 175 and kept it off but it has been hard work!! Looking for friends.

I also had my surgery in 2006. I'm finding it hard to keep on track. I have gained a little weight back. Still exercising 4-5 times a week. I went to the app store hoping to find something like weight watchers for bariatric pts but had no luck. I love the new me after the by pass but need some help getting back on the downward slope. Before and after surgery I did Water aerobics but had to quit 2 years later cuz I couldn't afford it any more now I use my wii and the gym at work to walk. But still not going down. Has to be what I am putting in my mouth. I'm a nervous eater and have the hardest time when at work. Not sure why my job isn't that stressful anymore. Anyone have any suggestions? So glad to have found this app!

      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.
