Hmmmm I still always think first: Calories in, calories out.

Of course the newest research shows that that's not always the simple story for people

who've been obese, but still I just go back to measuring and writing down every damn thing

that crosses my lips.

I hate it, it's a drag, but I make myself do it, something I was never able to do when I was

really obese. But yeah, back to basics: minimum 80 oz of Water or clear (ish) liquids a day, and

then minimum 45 minutes a day of cardio that gets the heart rate up to around 120 beats per minute

minimum. That's what I do. If our pasts show us anything, it's that there is NO easy fix

How are you doing on Protein? I make sure that 50% of my calories come from protein and that helps. I'm loosing pretty slowly at 7 mos out, but I'm still loosing and not gaining. I also get in at least 60 minutes of cardio per day and most days more. I think it is just going to be much slower losses at this point. How long have you been stalled?

      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.
