Hello again!! I haven't logged on in about one year!! Well, here is a little background on my journey. I was sleeved May 1st 2012. I have lost 75 lbs. I have not lost any weight in about 5 months, i have actually gained 20 lbs. I am SICK that this has happened and totally embarrassed. Am I the only one lol? I feel like a failure and I fear I have just completely screwed up. Is my sleeve ruined? Any advice at all is appreciated. Thanks

We fall back into old habits. candy, Cookies, pies, cakes and carbs. Luckily I don't have a sweet tooth. Carbs are the bad thing. Did you inow that your liver swells with fluie when we a diet high in carbs. Learned that with my 2 week diet before surgery. Omiting carbs helped me lose 1 pound a day for 2 weeks. Result, My liver shrunk 50%

Yeah, this happens. On the bright side though, you gained 20, not 50, not 70 or 100. You can still get this under control. Hell, you could lose 20 pounds by the new year if you wanted.

I preach the gospel of myfitnesspal and measuring.

I prefer the lose it app and the nike fuel band. It keeps me honest with exercise calories!! You're fine just refocus.

      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.
