Can you be more specific? What are your total calories at? How much protein/carbs/fat? Are you logging everything you eat into something like myfitness pal? what exactly does your workout include?

With those details I'm sure people can give you more specific advice.

What GG said. Gotta log it so you can see where the issues are. Are you following the sleeve basics? That seems to help lots of people get back on the horse.

Protein first

64 oz minimum Water

Don't drink with your meals.

If you want to get back on track, it might be a good idea to just try to stick to what worked for you early in your program. Can you visit your doctor or nut for a check up? Good luck.

im 11 months out also. i log on mfp religiosly, stay below 1000 cals a day. dont exercise like i should. afraid ive reahed my "happy weight" and wont be able to lose more without some serious effort. but i feel complacent and pretty comfortable at this weight. size 14. 23 pounds to goal.

ill bet that the increase in your exercise will get that scale moving again. Hang tough! we'll get there.

How far away from goal are you?

      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.
