I've lost 11 pounds in 4 weeks and only have 10- 20 more. My fitness pal has really been a god send and it's totally free:)

Thank you everyone for your response. I just don't want to fail. I know it's a tool but I just feel like I'm having to work even harder with it to lose the next 50 pounds. It's hard not to get discouraged sometimes.

Also, I've been at a stall for a while now. Does my body just "like" this weight or what? How can I propel myself out of it?

You might want to search this site for "stall" - a lot has been written about it.

Be HONEST with yourself. I had my surgery in April 2013. I lost the first 100 by November 2013. Since then, 29 lbs has been slow to come off. I've been at 190 for about three months. One day, I thought about it and realized I was slipping into old habits... Eating carbs like crackers, chips, crispy carbs that don't aggravate my sleeve. I was also not exercising at ALL because I was tired. I've realized that if I'll get my butt out of bed and go work out, I have SO MUCH more energy!!! It's a mind game. When I wanted salty food the other day, I made a boiled egg and put salt and pepper on it. My sleeve was thrilled with this!!!! I've lost 3lbs since starting back to the gym and eating healthy again. Refocus!!! :)

      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.
