I was sleeved on May 19, 2015 in Georgetown, KY. I am also having issues with the scale not moving. I also have a problem with sugar and I have started drinking (well a few months ago) Diet drinks. I am trying to increase my exercise. My center has support groups every few months, but my one complaint about the center is that they no longer have a psychologist on staff. I feel like fixing the stomach and having the surgery is the easy part, fixing the reason of why I gained that weight in the first place is the hard part. When you don't have someone to talk to that has been through the surgery it is hard, my husband and daughter are super supportive but they don't fully understand how I feel. I would like to do something like a sugar and caffeine detox, would you be up for trying that also, we could support each other!

Suggestions? Stop eating sugar. Get back to basics. Eat dense Protein first. Weigh and measure your food to make sure portion creep isn't happening. Record or log all your food. The basics work!

      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.
