I'm now five months in, and I only lost 30lbs. I need to lose 60lbs to be at my goal weight of a 160lbs. I don't understand why I'm not losing a pound or two a week. I eat right, jog three miles a day, walk one mile, do ten minutes of chruches and twenty minutes of light weight lifting. I do see my clothes getting bigger, but the scale is not moving. Just don't understand. My surgeon said that some people do nothing and lose lots of weight, while some workout and lose weight slowly.:thumbs_down::angry::huh2::thumbdown:

Ok, so I was really freaking out on friday night, ready to go to the ER, was so tired of getting sick, the whole 9 yards. My dad talked me out of the ER, they would not have done anything over the wekeend anyway. Really took it easy , just drank warm tea with unflavored unjury (unjury.com) Protein powder. Seemed to help, continued on Saturday with more Protein Powder. Was able to talk to my family and get some stressful things off my chest (I swear i felt it loosen immediately) Feeling much better today, just still going slow. Talked to Dr, he said to do all this and if I was still throwing up we would do an endoscopy. have no thrown up in 3 days. As to how I lost so much so quick, STRESS !! I had my life tuned upside down six months after being banded, my mom passed away suddenly, be the only responsible sibling, I have been taking care of just about everything and am not building a house with my future husband so i think i really just needed to get my feelings off my chest! It is amazing how much this has changed my life. I thank you all for your thoughts and support.

Teddy12*** I just wanted to check on you to make sure that everything was getting better for you. I lost my mom about 16 1/2 mths ago. If you would like to talk about anything please feel free to send me a private msge....:huh2:

      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.
