down only one pound but I am staying positive we can do this, and I know it may be early but as soon as this challenge is over lets start a July 4th challenge. I am WAY more motivated when it is a challenge! Good Luck :-) Crystal

Down a pound--I am proud of that because I did not weigh last week for my Tuesday weigh-ins until this past Saturday because of TOM, so this morning I had already lost another pound since Saturday in addition to the 1.6 on Saturday.

Congrats to everyone--a loss is a loss!!!

Is it too late to join the challenge? If not, I'd love to be in. I didn't see this thread until today. :thumbup:

Anyway - I'd like to set mine at 13 lbs. I've got a month and my first fill coming up - should be able to do that I hope!

Today I'm 257.6. If I lose 13 lbs, that takes me down to approximately 244. (I'd love to see 240 by then!)

I'll start my ticker! Thanks for doing this challenge and I will definitely do the next one, too!

I'm down 4 lbs this week. This challenge has motivated me to step up my workouts. I did a 5K walk yesterday. WooHoo! I am laying off treating myself to any chocolate until after Mother's Day. :thumbup:

Ginger, Here is the link to the spread sheet, add your name and starting weight (you could use last Monday for a starting point if you remember what it was) and how much you have lost as this week if you want. Or just use your weight today as starting and skip the first week weigh in.:thumbup:

      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.
