So I'm about to lose my **** lol. I'm 2 years out from surgery and the first year was a wonderful transition. Now I just feel I've be nothing more than a failure. Now that its pretty much a quarantine, I've gained a bit of weight like 10lbs and sunlight kills my eyes lol. MASKS in the summer are so sweaty soooo sorry for viewing

So my loves, DOES ANYONE Hate it lol

a 10-20 lb regain during year 2 or 3 is pretty common. If you want to lose more weight, you'll have to create a calorie deficit - by either eating less or exercising more - or both. Some people just go back to the rules we got from our programs - not necessarily all the way back to purees and Protein Shakes, but the whole Protein first, then veggies, tnen - if you have room and are still hungry, a small serving of fruit or whole-grain carb. Others have had success with Weight Watchers or Intermittent Fasting.

it can be challenging to lose weight after those first magical months, but, it can be done...

      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.
