Oh why you feeling frustrated? You are done with the toughest part.... Oh what I would give to be on the other side of the tunnel.

Please take care of yourself... You are gonna come thru.... Share your experience.

Welcome! Spend some time ready older posts and you will see that nearly everyone is frustrated about a month or so out. Are you in a stall? Lot's of threads on that. I had my first stall from week 3 through about week 7, then again recently for about 2 weeks. But, as you can see from my profile, the weight is coming off.

Or are you frustrated because you're reading about others who lost more weight than you in a similar amount of time? If so, don't compare. Your journey is your journey and will be different than anyone else's. BUT, there are lots of common experiences and this place is a great resource for finding out about lots of things.

Have a great weekend!

Ellen

Hi I know good things take time. I don't want to fall back into old habits. I need to restart a gym routine. I find if I don't obsess so much over the amount of weight I am losing daily I feel better about my progress. I have lost 33lbs since my sleeve on 12/10 but I still have a good 50lbs left. Thank you for your kind words

      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.
