Late joiner here... I definitely want in! I'm a super slow loser, so I'm aiming lower - 10lbs by easter, which would put me at 255lbs.

Me too, me too!! I'm at 262, I failed the VD challenge...I shouldn't say fail, I didn't fail, I continued to lose, just slowly so I'm shooting for 10 pounds by Easter which will put me at 252, 2 pounds from the lowest I've been in 10 years (more like 13 years but close enough). Good luck everyone!

Hey All, hope you are all are going down : ) I have accepted that my goal for Easter may be slightly too much to ask for, but I am trying, lol. I am just so happy to be almost under 200!:(

I'd like to join the Easter Challenge as well. I didn't make my goal for the Valentine's Day challenge. My weight loss has pretty much stopped in the last month or two. I need to lose 12 lbs to get out of the 200's, so I'm hoping I can do it by Easter!

Surgery Date: Oct 26, 2009

Highest: 260

Pre Op: 236

Current: 211

Goal: 135

I'm also a freshly post-op'd gal, and would LOVE some motivation right now! My tummy growls constantly now. My mind is made up that I'm definitely losing the weight, but challenges make it even better for me! (I'm a tad bit competitive - even with myself - ha!)

I'm a bit reluctant to post a goal weight because I still don't know what's realistic for me to lose by then. I never would have thought I'd lose 30 lbs on the pre/post-op diets, but I did it.

The Ticker Facotory folks made me list a goal, so I put in 20 lbs that I want to lose. I don't want to discourage myself by setting a too-high goal for my first couple of months out of surgery. They told me to expect to gain a few, actually.

So I'm just going to join by saying I'll challenge myself to see just how much I CAN lose by Easter! And work my butt off to make sure that I defy the odds and NOT gain!! :(

Count me in the challenge! I am needing some motivation and this could be it!

My personal goal is 25lbs. If I lose... No, I take that back, WHEN I lose 25lbs, I'll officially be in ONEDERLAND!

So let me know what you guys are doing, and what you're successful with.

My main focus over the 6 weeks is going to be my snacking. I snack way too much after I get off work in the evening. I'm eating way too many calories in front of the T.V. I hope this challenge gets me off the couch, on the treadmill, and choosing healthier foods. I'll check back in on Monday!

Good luck everyone!

      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.
