Lately I've noticed my appetite is growing. I'm afraid I'll end up back to where I started. While 10 months later I still eat small portions, I've stopped losing wieght and my portions are getting larger. Any advice?

The same thing has happened to me. I've been trying to chew my food slower and just eat slower in general because I feel like I need to eat the full amount on my plate and then all of a sudden I've eaten more than I should have. It's been helping a little bit but I'm also trying to stick to more healthy foods, as I feel like I'm starting to get back into the crappy food routine again and that scares me. Also, I wasn't a huge fan of the Protein Shakes but I've been trying to have them again at least once a day. I'm sorry I'm not more help but I hope you got something out of this :)

I've noticed the same thing about my self, I can eat more now and more often. I find that if I eat Protein that isn't chopped or ground up like hamburger, I stay full longer and eat smaller portions. I also try to fill up on low calorie vegetables like green beans/cauliflower/brussel sprouts.

To keep losing the weight, I've had to up my walking. I average 4.5 to 5 miles a day, with 3 of those miles done at a park near my home. I try to get those 3 miles done within an hour.

      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.
