I have been doing well lately. 10 pounds since mid-may. I have been at 244 for almost 2 weeks. 244.8, 244.2, 244.3. I have been more active than usual, painting, renovations. (not formal exercise) and really doing well with my eating. More fruit than before, less carbs.

Do any of you have a food trick that is guaranteed to drop a pound or 2? maybe I need to start watching my Protein again. I have 5 more to reach my 50 Lb. mark and buy myself a Pandora Bracelet and 1 charm. Was hoping to be there August 1, but don't think so.

Thanks

Adding in formal workouts would really help. Try to change of what you do, so your body doesn't get used to it. Also, varying your calories from day to day is supposed to help, tricking your body into loosing fat.

Thanks. Guess what? I got on the scale this morning and was down 2 lbs. I am going away for 3 days w/ "the girls". Hope to hold steady. I am sure there will be some "liquid calories" consumed. LOL

I WILL EXERCISE! I WILL EXERCISE!

      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.
