What specifically do you want help with ? I sent u a PM if u prefer that.

Try small, frequent, high Protein meals and Snacks, don't try to go low fat ( I eat 5-6 a day) Drink lots of Water but not during or half hr after meals.

Examples of what I eat:

Turkey Jerky

1 fried egg on 1slice light (35 calorie toast) with a slice of cheese on it

Half a large apple w BP

Light yogurt

Half a sandwich made w 1slice light (35 calorie) bread toasted or grilled.

Cup of Soup or chowder. NO crackers

salad w meat, cheese

3 oz protein and small amount of veggies

Cucumber slices, baby carrots and ranch dip

Hey piano gal i got to 158 and now stuck at 176 for months it's crazy i did the 5 day test lost like 2 lbs. I feel discouraged because i excersize 5 days a week and wouldn't go over 1250 calories a day. Take all the proper Vitamins i also have bipolar and take medication and that actually helps aid in weight loss what i take and it's not. I take melatonin i sleep 4 to 5 hours and once in a blue moon i get 6 I'm happy those nights. I just had back surgery last month luckily haven't gained i know it is gonna be rough yet again. I have PCOS and hypothyroidism due to the gastric bypass 2 severe ulcers 3 hernias removed gallbladder out i did it all right but obstacles keep getting thrown at me it sucks i know. Somewhere in my depressed mind i know there has to be some hope because what else do we have left. We did all this and for what? We all knew it wasn't gonna be easy and some people are damn lucky to have the weight just shoot on off but those like me and you we have to fight damn hard and I know I cry some days and tell myself it's not fair but then I say snap out of it. Anyway enough of my preaching lol if you need to talk I am hear for you I know how it is. And by the way my doctor said to me it's normal to gain 15 lbs or so after to stop losing and start eating normal foods again.

There was a study done that proves lack of sleep and or stress will make you retain fat...until the stress is addressed it will be tough to lose the weight.

      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.
