Since my pre op diet, I've almost lost an automobile tire. Though from my highest weight ever, I've lost the worlds largest ball of tape. Though, since I have lost and gained a bit probably more than that...lol

I love this, I called my mom today and told her I had lost a mid size microwave with a dozen krispy kreme donuts inside and of course she didn't get it right off and told me no, that I had lost my mind. LOL This is the neatest way to really put into perspective what we have lost. I can't imagine how I walked around holding a microwave all day. I can't wait til I've lost a 2 month old horse. Thanks for putting this on the board.

I LOVE THE THREAD. OMG! 111 pounds = red meat an average American eats in a year and prior to that a small horse? Really I carried around a horse. Know wonder my knees use to hurt! LOL

They should put a sticky on this one. Hilarious but so very motivating when you look at weight like this. Sometimes we can be all about numbers. Great spin on it!

I'm between a gold brick and the worlds largest ball of tape. Although, if I'm being honest, I'd take that gold brick right back, lmao, if it was real.

      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.
