Have you been to your doc's lately? I've been told that once you reach the "green zone"/"Sweet spot" you should see the doctor at least every six months and occasionally, you may need a very small fill.

And, I know how easy it is to let extra calories creep into your diet without realizing it. Like, I was eating a can of Soup for lunch every day (about 225 calories). I got bored with it, so I was making my own at home .... and without knowing for sure the exact calorie count of my homemade Soup, I'm betting it's over that 225 range. And probably contributing to my being stuck.

Slack up on exercise? Yeah, everybody does that. But if you're eating some extra calories and not exercising as much, you can (and most likely will) gain a bit.

Going to the doctor will be a moment of accountability. A chance to talk to someone about what you're doing (or not doing).

Start journaling every bite you eat. You may realize that you are nibbling your way along to a few more calories, too. Sometimes, just being honest with yourself and writing it down will make you put that nibble down instead of into your mouth!

Good luck!

      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.
