I had my hunger return to but I try to keep myself in check. I am 4 months out and I will go down a few lbs and then back up a few lbs. I have been sick the last 2 weeks so no exercise for me. You now have the best tool for the weight loss. Just stick with the plan and the weight will eventually come off. You will ce accross times with stalls and gained lbs that's when you kick up the Protein and try to add a little walking or buy weights to wear around while your busy during the day. Remember we are herw for support too! Good luck!

I'm sorry to hear u are struggling so much, I am 4 months out and do not feel like I have a pouch either. I have never dumped and feel completely normal. I have to continue to remind myself why I have had this done. I have been very successful and I will share what I am doing. I have my fitness pal on my phone and I count every single calorie that goes in my mouth. I make sure to get between 60-80 grams of Protein a day. I have found that if I do 1000 calories for a couple days, then go down to 600 for a couple days, it seems to keep my metabolism going. I am down 87 pounds.... Keep your head up and your eye on the prize :-)

Don't give up!!! If you can't leave the house have a time morning or while your baby naps to have a DVD work out for 15/30 mins & you should be good. I'm almost 12 months out. Haven't gain but if I let my self go as far as I can eat. I know I will gain (I think) I keep my self like break lunch dinner exercise 3 Snacks finish. Even if I'm hungry I don't over eat.

I know it's hard to get exercise in but try to do a DVD when the baby naps. I haven't had my surgery yet but with my schedule I can't get to the gym period! So I turned my home into one. I have DVDs and weights. that's all you need and they to get in 30-40 minutes a day or start slow at three times a day.

I'm so sorry you are having a difficult time. Support and prayers for you. Just take it day by day and you really need to consider putting the scale away. But, been there done that I think I put mine away at 6 months. I was obsessed and would kill mojo if my# didn't drop. It's a roller coaster for sure.

I can relate, I don't dump I can eat. I feel hungry all of the time and have zero time for the gym. But keep in mind we have a tool not an easy way out. DVD workout work great. But cleaning and keeping a child busy is a WORKOUT! you are always burning calories just maximize it!

Sounds dumb but I do this:

Park far

Take the stairs

Hold my daughter whenever possible (she's 3.. 30 lbs!) she loves the extra attention

When shopping go around a many times I walk target and the mall I look lost but whatever LOL

I walk on my lunch breaks

At home I have the big ball in my living room so I don't sit on the couch

I do squats in the shower

Find what works for you! Sending you hugs!!

Surgery date 7/25/12

AS far as exercise with the kids, try dance games on a gaming console. that way the kids are playing with you and working out too.

Shaun t rocking body, hip hop abs, and if you dare insanity DVD....if you love dancing the first 2 are the best, insanity is more extreme... I hate the gym with these cd's I don't need to go, he works every part of the body

Try not to stress, I personally hide the scale and weigh in weeks at a time.

      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.
