Thank you. I'm just upset because this has been a long standing issue when I tried to lose weight before surgery. I would get close to onderland and then start regaining weight. I'm upset that I've had over half my stomach removed and still can't get under 200.

Hang in there this is the time you need to be strong because the sleeve WILL get you into onederland. Just try not to stress about it. This is very different from anything you have tried before. If you stick to the plan and keep moving the weight will eventually start to move again. I know because the same is happening to me but I look at my husband who was done at the same time as I was and he is already at goal. Frustrating but a great motivator to me to show me it does work just faster for some.

Hang in there. Probably time to switch something up. It slows down for everyone at a certain point, but if you keep your body guessing you can get it going again.

I was stalled at 266 for about 2 months; then all of a sudden I dropped to 254. Not sure what I did differently! LOL Watching my intake, excersizing and trying to do everything right. So close to the 100 lb mark just can't seem to get there. Still a long way to go but happy I've gotten as far as I have. :D

      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.
