I completely understand and my best advise to you is mix it up !! Change your food and work out routine ! I was exactly at the same place as you ! You need to add some food and def drink 60-90 ounces of Water a day . Your body knows what to expect now so that's the need to change it up and you will start to see results again . Be prepared that they may be slower results but none the less results

Your body will go through stalls over time to sort of rest up and give you time to mentally catch up. If the stall goes on a long time, try mixing things up. Add more Protein or more fat to your diet or change up your exercise routine. Anything that is different can break a stall and bring on weight loss. Also you are reaching the point where your loss will slow down. You won't have the big jumps anymore, but you will have a slower more predictable loss like someone on a conventional diet would. I'm a yr and a half out now and my weight loss is like 2lbs a month if that. I'm not cheating my heart out, but things slow down the further out you get and you still have to stay on top of it.

thank you, I am trying to walk more and I am drinking plenty of Water. The issue is, I am unable to eat a variety of food. I am little by little adding in food, but I can only handle cottage cheese, Protein Shakes, ground turkey, yogurt. sea food, beef, chicken make me sick.

Just give it time, and keep trying things every once in awhile. For about the first year, I couldn't eat any kind of chicken or pork. I still can't eat pork, but I've improved over time to be able to eat chicken in certain preparations, but still not in all the ways i used to. It takes awhile for your body to learn to process Foods differently. In general, if something bothers you, wait a month or two and then try it again. Try it with a sauce, a marinade, or another preparation and see if it handles better.

      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.
