My surgery was on November 23rd, I'm 7 months post op and I'm currently down 128lbs since surgery, 151lbs total. I've been noticing a lot people have been losing faster or slower and I'm proud of all of you! The reason I'm posting is because I was wondering if any of you have been feeling like you're falling back into old habits or if you have a fear of failing? I've been having a lot of mixed feelings since my journey and I'm not sure how everyone else feels. Sometimes I have great eating days, other times I'm ashamed and realized I did a horrible job following my plan. I'm stuck somewhere between who I was and who I want to be. Am I alone in this?

My greatest fear. I have pretty much fallen off the wagon. I crave sweets and although I have eating restrictions, I am always hungry in my head. I have only lost 45 pounds since 11/5 and fluctuate between 167 - 170. Very hard

I feel the same way too. And every day has been a complete and utter struggle.

And I am sort of there too, feel that I have missed a step or I would do better at things, was I just" shooting myself in the foot"? and NOBODY wants to help me face these concerns. Yes down into the Inner ME, I am glad for my surgery, my surgeon, even the facility, but out on the surface, qualms, the conviction I may have. done something wrong, maybe these trails are my fault! Perhaps come the morning, things will get 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.
