How big were you at your highest if you don't mind my asking. My dr says I'm loosing too slow and I'm kinda stuck. I'm a little over 4 months out and have lost about 65 pounds. I've been fluctuating. I've also been working out and eating right. I'm just kind o depressed right now.

How big were you at your highest if you don't mind my asking. My dr says I'm loosing too slow and I'm kinda stuck. I'm a little over 4 months out and have lost about 65 pounds. I've been fluctuating. I've also been working out and eating right. I'm just kind o depressed right now.

That pic was 2 and 1/2 yrs ago. I was about 274. I'm 5 1/2 months out from my pre surgical weight of 237. Now I'm at 83# down. I'm currently 154. 26 lbs to go if I want my original goal of 130. But I think I'll be good at 140 or between the two.

I stall and working my butt off at the gym breaks the stall. I will hop on the treadmill for at least half an hour between 4.2 and 4.5 mph. I'll do weights there if I have time. Sometimes I do Mari Windsors Buns and thighs Pilates!!!!! love Pilates.

I had a month stall where I went up and down a pound that month. I think the stalls are just allowing our bodies to bounce back and recover from the weight loss. Don't let not losing get to you. I did at first but it is a stress that I didn't need in my life so I let it go. I thought I was a slow loser. I wished I would have recorded the weight lose each month. But I know the first month I lost 20. At 3 months I believe I was 54 down. So I don't think 65 at 4 is too off track from many of us. I hope that helps.

      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.
