This should be a challenging week. I am on a business trip for a WASC (high school accreditation) visit and of course all of the food provided is carbs. bread etc. My hotel room has a fridge but I don't have a way to carry my food with me so it is Protein Bars and shakes for a few days. Might kick start my scale again? Wish me luck. too bad I forgot my running shoes :{

Has anyone gone back to the liquid diet to kick start things again? I've been stalled for awhile. I've increased my calories, Water, Protein and exercise but nothing seems to work.

Hi all! I was sleeved on 12/18/12 and I am down 49 lbs. I am looking for a good food plan that is really spelled out. Some meals I can eat fairly well and then others I take 3 bites and it feels stuck. I know to eat small bites and chew it well, but I want a meal that is comfortable to swallow. Any suggestions???

Congratulations! Good weight loss. I also seem to have a small stomach and have discomfort with several foods. So this is what works for me...

Breakfast. Greek yogurt

Morning snack - baby bel light

lunch - 1/2 sandwich thin toasted, 3 oz canned chicken, light mayo, slice of American cheese. (I find canned chicken more comfortable than deli meat)

Afternoon snack - reduced fat Colby jack cheese stick

dinner - ground turkey as chili, meatloaf, tacos , etc.

Usually is about 1000 calories per day

Hope that helps

I was sleeved on 12/12/12 and so far I've lost a total of 73 lbs. I have to constantly keep tabs on being happy with what I've accomplished so far instead of getting angry that i stall so frequently. I pretty much lose 6 lbs one week then stall for two weeks and that's been going on for at least the last two months. I've learned to just surrender to it and enjoy the marathon instead of the sprint.

I'm having to go out and buy new bras again today because i keep shrinking out of mine. Lol if i weren't actually going UP in cup size i might actually be upset. 201 lbs currently and oh so covering one-derland.

I was sleeved 12/17/2012. I am down 72 pounds. Never thought I would even lose this much weight and its still coming off slowly but surely. It has been such an amazing experience. I am not a prisoner to food anymore. Such an amazing feeling. :wub:

I spend weeks stalling! Then I go down 1 pound then stall again! It's getting aggravating! My "time" of the month seems to be worse!

My time of month is horrible...always messes with my weight loss! I have been up and down the same 3 or 4 pounds for 2 weeks and now have my period. :-( oh well, maybe when I come off I'll lose 5 pounds! Lol

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks my period is sabotaging my weight loss! Grrrrr!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
