You are all inspiring me to hold myself accountable and hope you will also hold me accountable. I want 1 day at a time success to eat high quality Protein, fruit and veggie carbs only, no grazing and to do it tomorrow and if successful the day after that and so on. I don't do well on 10 day challenges, but want to try this. What the hay, nothing ventured nothing lost ( i aint gonna gain) ????. I am 1 yr post vsg, down 110 since sleeve and 145 since Jan 2014. I haven't lost or gained in 2 months and i am 30 pounds from goal.

I can barely hold myself accountable. .haha.. surgery Dec 2011 now June 2015 and I am within 5 # of goal. I want to be under goal and back to my lowest weight but this ain't bad either.

I so understand where you are. .doing awesome but seek the finish line.

I took 14 months to lose 150 and had a lull in losses aroung months 8-9 too...

Thanks CowgirlJane lol ???? I know that ultimately i am solely accountable to keep healthy eating a priority, but i can always use that extra angel on my shoulder to give that extra bit of encouragement to avoid what i know shouldn't be part of my daily food intake ???? i want to bear down and hit my goal in the next 6 months.

Here is what I think every single time I think about eating something.

1. Is it something that will help me achieve my Protein goal for the day. If not....I don't eat it.

2. I ask myself....is this good for me?

3. Am I eating because I am thirsty? I try to drink some Water first, it helps because the. I have to wait at least a half hour before I eat something.

4. I tell myself it's only going to taste good for 10 seconds.

That's what's keeps me on track.

Ok day 1 success. No grazing and fewer carbs and calories, and 1 pound gone. Today is day 2 but I'm approaching it as a new day 1.

Day 2 was successful via keeping a food log and feeling good. A by-product is another pound down.

Today is new day #3 feeling confident i will stay to plan with high Protein low carb food intake.

You'll have to be accountable to yourself. That's the best kind of accountability anyway. ;)

The tool that has helped me the most (in addition to my sleeve) along this journey is My Fitness Pal. I use it for two things: (1) planning my daily menus and (2) tracking what I ate.

The first function (planning my daily menus) has been very important to my success. YOU decide what you're going to eat. Don't let random food sitting around decide for you.

Best wishes!

My Fitness Pal is a key in my daily success as well. When I don't use it... I ALWAYS gain.

@vsgann and @@feedyoureye you are both right, as i asked on another thread topic what was the tracking app that people most used and, you guessed it, My Fitness Pal was the resounding reply! I downloaded it yesterday and love it! It also synchs with my Apple Watch, so i am beyond happy. As an aside i have lost 3 pounds in as many days since re-dedicating myself to going back to basics, and will keep doing so until i hit goal, and will no longer check in daily to this thread. Thanks to everyone here, what an amazing community of people here at Bariatric Pal. Xo Wynnie

      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.
