Big scale Victory.

I'm not one to weigh very often.

Normally only when i go in for a fill.

My last fill was mid July.

Well, I've been visiting my daughter and her family and decided to try her scales this morning.

I was afraid I had gained a couple pounds.......but........to my surprise i was down 12.5 lbs from my last fill.

needless to say i was so pleasantly surprised.

that makes me down 71 lbs since jan/10 and only 20-25 lbs to go. I know they will come off slowly but they will come off.

For those of you just starting this journey, keep your chin up and the little we do every day will make a big big difference in the months to come.

Congrats! Amazing that you've been able to stay off the scale; I've gotta be on it once a week.

Don't want to bust your bubble, but different scales will weigh you differently. I can weigh at home.. then go directly to the gym, no eating or drinking and weigh again, wearing the same clothes and be 3 lbs different.

You are doing great! If your not excersising already, it will help those last 20 pounds fade away. If you are, you may want to up the intensity. It has worked for me in getting those last 10 pounds off.

That was my point.. albeit I expressed myself badly... that the loss might not be 12.5 lbs. It might be 20lbs. It might be 8.

I just didn't want the OP to get home and get all depressed if the numbers weren't as good on the home scale.

Congrats on the loss.. whatever the number is. :(

      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.
