Well a little update, I just got back from the Dr. I lost 10 lbs this month. Whoohoo for me! He asked if I felt ok. I said I feel great, but it took 2 weeks after the fill for me to realize what I can/cannot eat. So, he said I am at 32 bmi and he would talk to me about where we go from here when I get to 28 bmi. I said I will see him in April, but will be on vacation in May. So I will talk to him in June about where we go from here. :cursing:

OK - so I have not been loosing very fast lately. I know it is mostly Water related. I have just not been drinking my water. I will think, oh, just too busy. But it makes such a difference I just have to do it.

The good news is that we went on Spring break vacation and I did NOT gain any weight. That is the first time in my life I have gone on vacation (eating out all the time, etc) and not gained weight. One time I gained almost 20 lbs on vacation....yckky gross! I may not make my goal...but I am troop on to get as close as I can!

Well, I am adjusting my goal for this challenge. I hope no one minds. I think I can loose 10 lbs this month with the incorporation of exercise and if I hide all the kids Easter candy. I think I was a little too ambitious this time. But I feel good about the new goal!

Hi Folks, well I am down 13.6 lbs, but need to loose another 10.4 to make my goal. I don't think it is likely because I only have 7 more days, but this challenge has been good for all of us!

      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.
