I am so close to having my first 100 pounds down but I'm going on three weeks to lose the last five pounds to get there. I feel like at this rate it will be months until I can get under 200 ☹️

I Exercise almost every day and track everything I eat using my fitness pal. So frustrated right now

You are doing great - you don't seem to have experienced any stalls so you must be doing all the right things. And as long as you are losing a pound a week you are doing good.

Are you getting in your fluids and eating your Protein? Are you eating enough to support the exercise you are getting?
If so, maybe a visit to your nutritionist for a review of your food log is in order.

I've found that things are slowing down now that I'm at the 6 month mark but as long as I'm losing I'm happy. Unlike diets that have an end, I view this as a lifetime journey. As long as I follow the plan my nutritionist gave me I'm confident things will move along and I will get to my goal, I'm not in a hurry. (I can't afford to keep changing sizes monthly!!)

You are doing so well! I went for over two weeks without losing anything. One thing that kicked me into high gear was lifting weights. I do weights three times a week and it really jump started my weight loss. I wouldn't worry if I were you, though. You are doing really well.

      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.
