I'm with you! I've lost right at 50 lbs since gastric sleeve on 10/22. I've had over a month go by without losing, too, but I expect that if I keep doing the right thing, I will get all the benefit possible, and I will focus on WHAT I'VE GAINED rather than what I haven't gotten out of this. For me, that's being able to go off all meds for type 2 diabetes; my blood sugars have even gone up 30 or 40 in the past month , which would be devastating if that is what I choose to focus on. It's just not helpful to focus on what is missing.

Agreed. It's always better to focus on the positive! But, once in awhile, it's ok to vent your frustrations in a safe place!

How wonderful for you to be off meds! That's a huge accomplishment!

We will get there, I know it!

I know where your coming from. My husband and I were both sleeved on 22/10/13 he has lost almost 85lb and I have lost 55lb. We eat exactly the same food, drink etc the only difference is that he has had to go out for meals with work so some of his choices haven't been as great, yet he is motoring along like a steam train while I am slowly but surely losing. I try to not compare myself to him and be happy and proud of where I'm at but it is hard when I think of all those times I have said no to something. Keep at it you have done an amazing job

I think you should pat yourself on the back, you haven't killed him after all!

THAT can not be easy! But, alas,men lose faster than women!

Yeah he is lucky. WE WILL GET THERE, just might take a little longer. I'm so glad the phsycologist prepared us both for the fact he would lose faster than I would. Keep at it !

      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.
