Some times the body just needs a break u might be stressing too yourself too much take a step back and take a break for a couple weeks then try again if that doesnt work change what u exercise routine is try kickboxing or oxysize u just might need a change

I do 2 and 1/2 mikes on the elliptical and. 30 minutes weight training now. It seems no matter what I do except starving myself works. I'm just afraid because my appetite is increasing and I don't want to go back down the road of gaining weight.

Plateaus happen. They love to mess with our head. Keep working the plan and it will start to come off again. Great work on the loss so far.

I'm currently in the throes of an awful plateau so I know how you feel. It's so easy to get mad at myself and the scale, and to deprive myself further and further just to see the numbers move down. But there's something to what sofia said, sometimes you need to relax a little, let your body adjust, and maintain for a little while before pushing yourself again. I know it's frustrating, but you've come so far already. You will definitely keep losing if you don't get discouraged and stay good to yourself. Maybe mixing up the exercise and cutting down on carbs will help. That has been helping me up until this point :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.
