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.

      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.
