So I posted a couple months ago about my disappointment 9 months post op and now in 2 days I am offically 1 year post op and my total weight loss has been 40lbs. That was acheived in 3-4 months post op and since then its been a bad battle. Anyway as I look back one entire year and my failure it is soo discouraging!

Especially coming from my 100lb weight loss with my band when I had it 5 years ago. I went to see a nutrionist (not same that i have with my surgeon) and she insisted I up my intake, because I am a year post op and im so tall 5'10 that 1200 cals arent enough for me?

Any success stories out there with bleek start like mine but greater afters?

What's a typical eating day like for you? Do you exercise? I know it sounds counter -productive, but upping your calories may actually jumpstart your weight loss. If you give your body too few calories it can be just as bad as too many.

I agree with @BLERDGirl.

Are you tracking your food?

What is your Protein target? Are you getting in all of your Protein and fluids every day?

Are you taking all of your Vitamins and supplements as directed?

If you aren't eating enough, especially enough protein, and/or not staying hydrated, you may have a difficult time losing weight.

      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.
