Hello there, I'm 35, 4 years post-op, and feel so lost. I had a daughter going on two years ago, and gained 60lbs with my pregnancy. My lowest weight was 177, I started at 320. As of right now, I'm 220. Although I'm much lighter than I used to be, I feel I'm slipping back to my old ways of snacking and binge eating. I am new to being a stay at home mom, and although I try so hard to watch what I eat, my snacking, and eating the leftover of whatever my daughter isn't eating is so hard to resist. I'm so disappointed in myself, and I feel like all the hard work was washed down the toilet. I feel terrible, and now with summer coming up, I am really noticing just how heavy I've become once again. Please, I need a buddy, or just some words of encouragement right now. So glad I found this site..

You can do this! Switch back to Proteins and veggies. You will lose it in no time.

Thanks so much! I am going to cut out the processed food, and stick to the Protein. I really hope I can do this again. Thanks for the words of encouragement!!

      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.
