Hey ya'll, new to the site. I was sleeved February 12th, 2013. Best decision of my life. Have had an easy recovery and weight loss has been steady until this past month. I'm within 10-11 pounds of my goal. (Depends on the day) I keep gaining and losing the same 2 pounds. Looking forward to getting to know everyone.

Greetings and welcome. Your success is amazing and you should be so proud of yourself. I am about a month behind you as to when I had surgery and found weight loss has slowed down so much. One thing that helped me was I read about the c25k app. There is a whole thread on it in the Fitness and Exercise forum. It is a free app that trains you from a couch potato running a 5k in 8 weeks. I recently finished the app and couldn't believe I was able to do it. I had never run before in my life. I think this change in exercise shook up my body to loose again. The other suggestion is that there is a thread called the Valentines day challenge. There is a new challenge every 6 weeks or so and a wonderful woman who started the thread keeps a spreadsheet on everyones weekly weight loss. This reporting in and accountability caused me to tighten my diet. Third thought was to watch the carbs. I know for me when my carb number creeps up the weight loss stops. I track this on myfitness pal. Hope some of these help.

Thank you for the welcome. I will have to check out the Valentines Day Challenge. I completed C25K in September and found out I don't enjoy running, lol. I just finished my 2nd week of Focus T25 and I'm hoping that will help jump start my loss.

      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.
