I've always read to try to CHANGE IT UP...... be it with the eating, alternating high and low calorie days, a change in a workout routine........ In other words, don't have a ROUTINE......change it up. Set smaller, more manageable goals..... Like, drop the next five pounds or the next pant size. Journal feelings on where you were, where you are now, where you want to be. Best wishes!!!!!!

Protein PCROTEIN and more PROTEIN and DRINK THE Water , I forgot but someone once posted , I think it was something like 64 grams of Protein & 84 oz. of Water A day , it could be the other way around but you might want to try that just a suggestion it is hard but doable.

Don't wait for motivation for strike. Just act----and the motivation will follow. This was one of the biggest lessons I've learned with my band and where I am in my weight loss journey. If I wait to be motivated, I'm just spinning my wheels. If I just act as if I'm already motivated...right now, today,....the motivation will jump on board.

Hi there and congratulations on your success to date. I am with you on wanting to get the final pounds off. We are faced with winter approaching and I'm pretty sure I need to have a really aggressive plan in place for getting exercise. If you're not currently working out, that might out you at goal before you know it.

It is REALLY Hard it seems that the last few lbs don't want to fall off unless I put my body in starvation mode and I am choosing not to just eating healthy , but I also have my issues & thyroid that fluctuates so that means my weight does also , still clothes get smaller so I will wait & when it comes off I know it will.

      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.
