Ozzie, get back on the horse if you've fallen off. If you've been sticking to your diet/exercise program perhaps you're losing at a different rate than someone else might, and not doing anything wrong. There's nothing in writing that says you have to lose all your weight within one year. Also, who decided on what your ideal weight should be? You, your doctor, the BMI chart? No one told me my ideal weight, I just picked my own.

You can do this, you know you can because you've already made headway. Keep your eye on the prize and keep posting here. Others will offer encouragement and ideas to help. Best of luck????

I too have fallen off. I was sleeve 10/29/14. Starting weight 215 now . I am disabled with MS so I have mobility problems. I do well on my diet during the day. Nightime is my downfall. It has been like this for the last 5 months. I am so depressed about this. I feel like I am the only one with a failed story to tell. I am 65 years old and I so much want to have a good story to tell. Sad me????

Ripe one.....this a journey! You are going to have ups and downs. The end of the road is death. Until then you can and should fight. You took a leap of faith when you had the surgery. Take a leap of faith, a return to the Protein, read labels. [no more that 80 carbs a day, no more than five grams of fat in a single item, and no more than 15 grams of sugar in a given item] but forgive yourself for food transgressions and move on! You can do it. My email is sequau@me.com. Let me know how you're doing. You can do it! I'm in the middle. This was taken 4 weeks after surgery at a convention. This is my best friend. She and her husband had weight loss surgery. We are struggling to leave habits that have been ingrained. post-257430-14433671558628_thumb.jpg post-257430-14433671866687_thumb.jpg post-257430-14433669376579_thumb.jpg

      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.
