Hey Janice! Thank you. How are you doing? Hope all is well! Happy one year to you.

Thank you but i havent been as successful as many in our group. Could be lack of exercise. Or very slow metabolism. I have only lost 50. So now i am reaching out for diet aids to help my hump. Very upsetting. Sometimes i dont even feel like i had the operation. Like he opened me up and closed me. Could be hormonal to. I will find my way surely

I heard if you are using the wrong Protein supplements it can slow your weightloss, I use Unjury Protein Shakes once a day for Breakfast. My husband also had the surgery in March, he Snacks a lot which is a no no but he still seems to lose. Quite honestly I do not exercise, I haven't seemed to fit that in yet! ???? I have leveled off and if I start gaining I think that will be my motivation.... Also along with the shakes we take 1 bariatric Vitamin A day and 3 bariatric Calcium supplements a day. I order all this from unjury.com thier chocolate splendor shakes are really good! It might be worth trying something different! I always keep sugar free Popsicles in the freezer, if I feel like snacking or filling my face I eat one, usually two, they are 10 calories a pop and are better than the alternative! Hope this helps! First and foremost DO NOT GIVE UP! Good luck!

Yes i started out with Unjury, had all flavors. Just couldnt get them down after 3 weeks. Then use ensure high Protein and adkins Protein Shakes. I do snack too much. But love the soy bean roasted nuts and edamame Beans. Roasted they are good and 1 bag last me about a week. But i am working around all of this

I have a question, first of all I am a nail tech and when I do pedicures I have to lean forward a little and sometimes I get what feels a cramp in my stomach. Kinda like I am pinching an intestine or something only when I bend just slightly forward. When I sit up straight the cramp is gone. Have any of you ever felt a weirdness in your abdomen?

      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.
