Recommended Posts

My starting weight was 270. Lowest. 188. Now 214. Can't seem to get past this weight. Need to completely re-start and remember how to work this. No support in my area whatsoever and I know I need some to succeed in this journey.

@@kj44 - you can do this! I don't know how to tell you to start over. Maybe on liquid diet? What were you able to eat when you were loosing the best? Maybe you should go back to that point. Don't give up, try to remember how excited you were when you hit 188. I bet it was a great feeling. I'm only 12 days post-op and cheating on chips! They did make me sick and hurt very bad so I'm saying...lesson learned the hard way! Good luck. Keep in touch.

Yes ma'am, your sleeve us telling you "no thanks!" I encourage you to listen to your body and not your mind(aka stomach,appetite, craving center) so that you don't end up wondering" how on earth have gained these pounds back??" Lol the answers pretty simple, ...by not following the program.

Thank you for your encouragement, I appreciate the support. I'm here also should you need any yourself. ...I wish you the best and hope you are doing well.

Let's start from the basis, the shakes . You can do it and I will help you because we all are in this together. I joined the YMCA and it had helped me but I still have to be so careful. So let us just buddy this up and help each other.

I would just do my best to go back down to at least 190 and then try to maintain that weight. I know its hard and when i have surgery and get to my lowest weight the battle is to maintain that weight for like forever ????. I wish you luck !

I'm just starting my journey (no surgery yet) and was wondering about the shakes also..which ones. Also, the seminar I went to said if you hit a plateau to up your Water intake for a week and you will start loosing again.

Hi, like you I've gained. My lowest was 190 and I am now 265. I started the 5 day pouch test today. I hope this helps me get on track. Maybe you should try it as well

If you are in a stall, have stopped losing, or have gained back some weight, why not make an appointment with your NUT? They are an important part of your bariatric team and can help.

I would suggest that if anyone is unhappy with their progress that they go back to basics and make an appointment.

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.
