I drink my Proteins don't eat junk, I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Has this happened to anyone else.

Use my fitnesspal to record what u eat. Every bit of it. Stick to what u were told to lose the weight. R u taking enough Protein, how many calories is your target. Maybe u should try eating more calories if u r doing strenuous exercises. I read on this site that when people do increase calories by about 200 calories per day while they r doing strenuous exercise, they start to lose the weight after a stall. Why about seeking out a nutritionist with Bariatric Eating experience.

I am kinda in the same boat. I have not lost anything since October either. I am also a very slow loser and have been trying to focus on the inches. Those has stalled as well. I know I can eat more than I used to be able to eat and that is a concern for me. I exercise 3-4 times a week in a pool because of my fibromyalgia. Anyone else struggling to lose weight?

Went to a support group last week...someone who had surgery in October has lost 70 pounds; meanwhile, I had surgery in June and still weigh what I weighed on Labor Day. Only lost 30 since surgery, 49 overall. Not complaining, but I know why I'm not losing...I can (and do) eat anything and everything. Can't seem to quiet the cravings...

I had sleeve surgery in June of 2012. I lost about 90 pounds within the first 5 months or so and then nothing since. I have been stalled out over a year now and am very depressed about it. I've even gained a few pounds! I know exactly why I'm stalled out, and that is the worst part. I'm eating junk and not exercising. I don't watch what I eat at all anymore and as much as I'm concerned about It, I can't seem to stay focused and motivated to do the right things. When I buy groceries, I look for low carb high Protein foods and that's what I buy... and then a box of Little Debbies just in case. Well, I end up eating the Little Debbie's in a day or two and never touch the food I purchased that's good for me. In fact, I mostly just eat out. I don't know how to kick the cravings I have for carbs... On a positive note, however, I did switch to putting Splenda in my coffee instead of sugar... that was a miracle for me because I've never liked it that way. Anybody got any suggestions for motivation or kicking the cravings? I have got another 100 pounds to lose and time is running out on me... :( Help?

      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.
