Hello everyone! I'm new! This is my first post! What a blessing this forum is! I've read so many inspiring and helpful posts from people who know exactly how I feel!

I'm post op 1 year. I've lost 100lbs! And I feel like a new person! I still have about 10-15 to go and my scales have not moved in about 6-8 weeks! I'm not doing anything I'm not supposed to. I have been working extra hard and it seems impossible. I was wondering if any of you had any suggestions as to what I may try in order to get to my goal.

I appreciate any responses and want to say congratulations and good luck to you all!!

:)

Wow! What a success story you are. Congratulations! Maybe you could do a week of the pre-op clear liquid diet that jump starts so many of us before surgery...

Rush2121, hang in there!!! You can do it!!! The first few weeks were pretty rough, but I kept the outcome as the center point of my struggles. I knew if I just did my best and what I was supposed to even in those hard frustrating times that it'd all be worth it!! Praying you just stay encouraged and know its all worth it! ;) good luck!!!

I have read on here if you mix your food intake up and increase the intensity of your workouts that it helps you break out of a stall. I am currently in a stall (almost 4 weeks now) and have increased my workouts. Unfortunately I can't seem to increase my food intake though. I am only 2 months post op. I can't seem to break through the stall. Going back to the liquid diet sounds like a great idea...Your story is amazing. Congrats on your weight loss journey thus far! And good luck with your last 10-15 lbs.

Thank you so much! Good luck to you as well! I stalled the first time about 3 weeks out and 2 1/2 months out and now. But I'm thankful for what's been accomplished thus far and for the decrease of health conditions and medications! Yours will start coming right off again...just wait and see! :)

      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.
