One thing that will help is go back to your basics. Make sure you get in enough Protein and your Water. Also maybe up your exercise. I am 3 and 1/2 years out so I know it gets harder to lose weight after we get further out there. There is a 5-day reset on line. I think you can look it up on line. Good Luck

None from me. LOL Just KEEP ON KEEPING ON. You will get there no doubt. I didn't want to sound like I was just plugging in the words. This is the most common reply from everyone. You can do this you have alredy proved that you are working your program.

Only a year out myself, so I just want to say way to keep on keeping on!!

What activity/exercise have you tried? Ask to specifically ask what you have liked and not liked. Exercise is supposedly key in the long run, so I was curious about what you like to do. If you haven't found something you like yet, that is ok too. I have tried a few different things and I could suggest based on what you like.

Me too. I know the obvious reply. Follow the bariatric diet.
Exercise, exercise, exercise
Any unique suggestions?



Diet and exercise. You already got out of your surgery what you're going to get..rest is up to you. I guess the 'unique' part is up to you. Good luck!

A lot of my eating was influenced by my cravings and addiction s. When I went completely off carbs for a month those disappeared. Much easier to manage the food you eat, when cravings aren't dictating every thought. Food is losing its importance in my life, which I absolutely love. I am free from it not being a constant focus whether I eat or not.

      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.
