Congratulations on the weight loss and the new baby (I assume you had the baby?)

I recommend you make an appointment with your NUT to talk about strategies for reaching your goals going forward.

In the meantime, go back to basics.

Follow your program.

Weigh, measure, and track your food.

Practice mindful eating, eat slowly, take small bites, and chew thoroughly.

Focus on reaching or exceeding your Protein and Fluid target every day.

Avoid starches and added sugars.

Take your Vitamins and supplements as instructed.

And, exercise.

Embrace the Stall!

That's what I would do -- go back on the pre-op diet.

My pre-op diet was 2 wees. Week 1: 2 Protein shakes and 350-400 cals for dinner. Week 2: 3 Protein Shakes. During those two weeks I'd make sure I was drinking at least 64 ounces of Water daily. Would this be hard? Probably. But I could do it.

After that I'd probably do 1,200 calories a day -- Protein, healthy/colored veggies, whole grains, the 64 ounces of Water. ZERO slider foods. ZERO simple carbs. ZERO sodas. ZERO liquid calories (unless I was using a Protein Drink for breakfast).

And I'd do that for as long as I needed to to lose the rest of my excess weight. I'd stick close to this forum. I'd exercise. I'd plan and track all my food on My Fitness Pal, too, which has been very helpful for me.

And, of course, I'd take all my Vitamins / minerals / supplements / meds as prescribed -- daily and on time.

Good luck!

How about the, "5 Day Pouch Test"? It might just jump start you back onto the right track.

--and a visit with your nutritionist after a consult with your surgeon.

You got this!!

Please, keep us posted.

      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.
