Congrats!!! I have to ask, how did you keep going?? I started at 266 end of May, I am at 186...and the scale has not budged in two months. Last week, I went back to Protein Shakes and bars and light dinner and still scale has not moved. I am working out 5-6 days a week. I thought maybe muscle gain, because I am at a size 14 and last time I weighed this I was at a size 16. But the doctor seems it should be a piece of cake ( no pun) to loose another 30 pounds. I am soo struggling right now and any advice would be amazing! Keep up the great work!

THANK you!!!! I hit a month long stall too at about 8 months so I decided to try Intermittent Fasting... I ate only between the hours of 12pm-8pm and fasted the rest of the time only drinking tea or decaf/sugar free coffee... I did that for 2 weeks and it worked, the scale started moving again. Don't get discouraged, keep up the good work!

I agree, and I am trying to remember I have lost inches and put on muscle, but the np at the doctors office, had me for a loop! My last visit, she said, "oh you have only lost 9 pounds in 3 months" but never said wow 80 pounds gone! So it through me off, like I should have done better. When she asked what my goal was and I said to keep off the weight I have lost and maybe another 20 pounds, she stated 30 would probably be better. I was at a loss

Don't worry about what she is or isn't saying... People don't realize that you have to be mindful of what you're saying to people. Just ignore her and focus on how good you are doing....

      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.
