My surgery is oct 26 and i LOVE hearing people's journeys, especially long termers! I can't really stand more than about a half hour or my feet hurt like crazy. I know this will get better as the weight comes off but getting an hour of walking in will be a challenge!

@@itstimealready, on this site we call it a ticker. It basically "tracks" your progress & you can personalize it, hence the word tracker. Hope that helps.

I'm using this site on the iphone app so some of these things might not be functional. I don't see any kind of a tracker but that would be pretty cool.

I am at a stall. Should I just do Protein Shakes for 3 days to jump start? I drink the Premier Protein shakes that are 30 grams of Protein and 180 calories? When I met with nurse last she said I wasn't getting enough calories or protein in but I try to snack a lot. Please help!!! I have lost 33 lbs in 4 months (in a stall the last month). I am very active too - work out at least 3-4 X week. Travel a lot for work too. TIA! Started at 222 - currently 188.

Stalls are a normal, natural, and necessary part of the process.

Calling your NUT when it concerns you is a good idea. She gave you some great advice. I would do what she suggests: increase your calories a bit.

Embrace the Stall!

      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.
