Hi All, Debi h , don't get discouraged. Everyone loses weight differently. just go over the diet and exercise instructions you have. some times even a small change such as cutting back on calories ( just a little)for a day, increasing Water intake, or 1 extra set of exercises can get one off the plateau.

Ok so I guess I need to buy a weight bench or something. I've been using my gazelle but it doesnt seem to be doing it. I live in a town that is too small (no signals yet)!! we dont have much in town and its to far to go into town. I cant walk much because of health issues. I just put my pool up so I will start to swim soon. That should help. I had some of my fill removed and that helped. I can eat again but havnt lost any weight since......

I am down 2 pounds this week.

Debi, on the other side of the coin...you want to make sure you are eating enough calories. If you eat too few, your body will hold on and you won't lose weight. I think that's been part of my problem the last couple of weeks since my last fill. I'm gonna give it to the end of the week to see if I can eat more. I have been able to eat some more this past week.

I lost 1# last week. I think I am way to loose. I went for 12 days in feb being to tight and that scared me into taking my fills slower. I go back in 2 weeks and am hopefully going to get to a happy medium. It feels like I am hungry all the time.

Hi All,

Well I had a bad food weekend. It was my birthday weekend (4/3) and I gained 1 lb. so I am back up to 235. However, I had a fill today and I am feeling pretty tight right now so hopefully that will give me a boost this month.

      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.
