Hi everyone,

I was quite frequent here last year after getting my band, then for a variety of reasons haven't been back till now.

THe fact of the matter is I really need support and I can't seem to get it from anywhere else like here!

I am down about 30 kg in almost a year now, but I am stuck, in a rut no less.

I have been extremely stressed and fell for the old relatives trying to sabotage the life plan thing. Haven't really move the scale in the past 3 months, though feel that I have enough restriction, just not eating healthily and certainly not exercising like I should.

I want inspiration and support and I know that you all can give it too me,

I am going to track down a challenge or seven here and get myself on track.

If you see me slack off give me a swift kick! I am at my docotors goal weight, but still have another 20 kgs at least to go for my goal.

Guide me please!!!! :):);-)

Thanks

Jodie

Welcome back Jodie! Yes, I do remember you :) You have done an awsome job already, and I know you will get to your goal in no time flat.

Go back to the basics for a while, Protein, veggies, etc. and make sure to get your Water all in.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
