Hello everyone! I had my life changing surgery on 11/30/11. Tomorrow is my 6 month mark, I had went from 306lbs to 208lbs. I did my first 5k in April 5th. I have been at a stand still. I have been 208/209 for about 2/3weeks. Very frustrating. My concern is gaining any or all weight back. I work night 7p to 7a the weekends. I use my fitness pal to help me watch what I eat and how much protien and carbs I eat. I am so far doing good on that. Yet, it's so hard. I eat 9am (protien shake), 11am, 1pm , 3 pm 6pm and 9pm. All small meals. I have Twins that just turned 7. They keepe active.

Wow! How old are your twins? What are their genders? I am glad I have a partner that knows how it is to have twins and now GBS.

      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.
