Three days to go this pre opt liquid only diet sucks!

30 pounds in 4 1/2 weeks! I am happy with that!!

0.1lbs away from overweight...elusive catergory, I've been chasing you for weeks.

Today is the first day of week six. Is it okay to try and see if I can tolerate fresh cherries?

Good Morning, Well its been 9 weeks today and I think I hit a platue. I cant seem to get past this 39 lbs. Im wondering if I am not getting enough calories. I am eating between 500-700 calories per day. I try to get more but I just cant seem to get there. Hopefully at my post op class they will help me with this.

Can someone tell me where the pinned directions are for the ticker. I need to update and in 2 weeks I have already forgot how. Being Diet Mtn Dew free is messing with my brain.

Another stall broken!

6 weeks post op! Stall, stall, stall - the ultimate 4 letter bad word! This is getting crazy. I stall every other week now. Really questioning if this will work for the long run. Hmmmm

Week 10: Down 41lbs and 35% to goal

I missed my 4th of July Goal by 8 pounds - I had my first stall. I am now starting to move down the scale a bit.

Love & Loght to all on this journey. Well, last week I gained 2.4 lbs and this week, I lost a pound. I am only 16 lbs away from goal so I am really uping the water. I would like to be at goal by labor day! I know we can do it. Giving thanks for All the lessons and the blessings!

Good news - I got full release to go back to work tomorrow! The bad news, I am having dumping syndrome with the liquid protein drinks and still can not start on pureed protein til next week. Surgeon said I will have to be protein deficient for awhile.

It's that horrible time of the month, I can't even keep tea down. I am glad my surgeon's office prescribe me stronger nausea meds, I only have to deal with this when I'm on my cycle No solids this week more than likely

I really hope that I can get to my Labor Day goal. I will have to lose a little over 3lbs a week to make this possible. SCARY!!!

My surgery got pushed back 3 weeks... disappointing, but if i waited this long, 3 more weeks shouldn't make a difference. Now scheduled for 7/27... can't wait!

5 weeks/43 pounds

follow up nutritionist appointment this week, shopping for new gym sneakers and getting to wear a dress that never fit me before? sounds like a great week ahead!

I guess it's normal to be hungry during the two week post op liquid diet?

welp, another week of doing everything right and losing nothing! UGGH.

I worked out yesterday and I gained a pound.... I haven't been able to see the inside of a gym in over 3 weeks.

Next week, I will start working out at Mercy Healthplex Fairfield. I toured the facility today and it's a nice one. Looking forward to this.

Went to the DR for 1 week check. Had to get IV fluids, labs drawn and CT scan. WTH I have a Hematoma! EEKS So glad no leak!

Got the plane tickets to San Diego today. The next 8 weeks may be the longest weeks of my life, just waiting.

I am at my six week post op. I am down 55 pounds. I know it sounds good but I feel like I'm really loosing slower than I should be. I am happy to be under 300 pound mark though. I am at 290 now. Started out at 343 pounds. I also have the hiccups alot. Does that happen to a lot of people. Its usually when I get full, but sometimes it's when I am drinking too. I think it is weird. I can also hear my stomach growling alot. Sounds upset but isn't. Sometimes I think it is telling me I...

losing about 1.5 pounds per week. Any ideas on how to lose more?????
