I had my surgery Oct 22 and I am down 60 pounds but for the last month I have been at the same weight. I also am eating when ever I feel like it. Even when I am not hungry. I am afraid of my stomach stretching out. What should I be eating. Help

Hi my husband and myself had surgery the same day as you. I have lost 64 and my husband has lost almost 93. I am the same as you in regards to stall for the last month. You just need to get back on plan. Correct amount of Protein, correct amount of Fluid and low carbs. I am frustrated but sticking to what I have been told to do and will not sabotage myself this time. Trust me when your husband is only about 4.5 from goal and you still have almost 59 to go it messes with your head but I get up every morning follow my plan, walk 5km and tell myself it will move and I WILL get there. Hang in there you can do it.

So much easier for guys in our experience. I am doing exercise daily and my husband does exercise randomly. He will now start to exercise to tone up now that he is at goal. I'll keep pushing forward like I have been

      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.
