So I have lost 133lbs...

But not I'm kinda more relaxed on my diet and workouts....

I moved to Washington state from ny just a month or so ago and I'm looking for a doctor now so i can get the ball rolling.

So its not like I don't know what I'm supposed to do... its more like.. I used to weight 343lbs now I'm 210lbs and i feel a lot better... I'm getting that I'm comfortable stage now ... but I'm still not happy. I know i can do better but... its like ... hard to get myself to push again after a year of going so hard core. ( yes i lost 133lbs in one year )

does this make any sence?

Can anyone offer some support and help me get my butt moving?

Jessica,

First CONGRATULATIONS on the weight loss you have achieved - that is fabulous!!!

Many bandsters go through what you are struggling with - you have lost weight, have more to go, but just don't want to have to think about it every day. It is difficult to keep up the momentum and always think about what you are eating, how you are eating, and (my personal bug-a-boo) doing the exercise.

You need to focus on the end goal now - not on how far you have come, but what you want to be. And then back to the basics...is it time for a fill to help curb the appetite? time to change up the exercise routine for variety? Time to treat yourself to something to inspire you to continue? Time to experiment with new foods?

You have the willpower and strength of mind, you just need to take a deep breath and plunge back into the routine focussing on the end result.

You have done wonderful so far, you CAN do this!

      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.
