My weight loss was doing so good, lost a total of 80 pounds and only 33 away from mine and my surgeons goal. BUT now my weight loss has stalled out/has been teetering back and forth between 197 to 194. Any tips or comfort that I'm not the only one this happens too?!

Same here. I was not eating enough and my dr made me set timers to eat every two hours. I have been slipping and eating more carbs than I should but I snapped out of it and started a clean slate. Making sure I have the right amount of Protein daily, eat it first and drink more Water. I'm so afraid I'm going to gain the weight back.

Well, obviously, if your eating the very things that made you gain in the first place, then that might be the issue. But, if not, you may not be eating enough too. Sometimes you have to kick your metabolism is gear with a few added calories. Our bodies are not made to sustain a very low caloric diet forever. Please get with your nutritionist on what's good for you. I've read countless posts about people stalling and their nuts telling them to eat more, what do ya know...they start losing again. I hope you find that right balance hon. Blessings to you on your journey!!!

I've actually talked to my nutritionist and she told me to eat more calories, and I've broke my stall this morning!! Hopefully it keeps moving in the right direction. I was just getting upset because I've been following my diet plan to the max. Thank you tho for all the kind words!

      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.
