Hi!

I had my op. already 9 months ago and have lost a lot of weight (42kg)

but as I always have been depressive person ..even now, after losing the weight I don't feel happy or imprest with my achievement.

I mean.. at first I was really trilled that I finally can by nice clothes n stuff, but at the end it has not changed who I am and what I think about myself... :/

The main problem now is that I eat way tooooo much. And afterwards I feel so bad about myself.. (at first 100grams - now about 300grams or more)

I know that this is problem that I should solve with pychoterapy or smthn, but right now I can't aford it ...and I tought - best thing to do is just ask for some advice from others that have had same kind of surgery and maybe at some point felt the same as I do.

Also Im stucked on one weight and I cant lose some more. I do a lot of sport, but that does not help. Still need to lose some 15kg.

I would be happy for any kind of advices!

ps. Sorry for my English, Im not a native speaker.

After the "Weight Loss" stage you pass into the "Maintenance" stage. In this stage, the goals and rules change slightly. I have put together a short article on the second stage that may be of some help. It is available here http://www.breadandbutterscience.com/Surgery2.pdf

Also I may revise this webpage in the next few weeks that will even give some more ideas. So you might check back on the link.

      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.
