Hi I'm new to the forum want to know how do this challenge work so I can't start next time

At the first of the month we post our starting weights and goals and each week we post our current weight. I will compile all of the weights into a table and post a link for everyone to see, that is if I don't forget or run out of time on the weekend. To make things easy we always weigh in on the 1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 30th of each month. Feel free to join in. Copy the data from the very first message in this topic and fill in your personal information. I will update the table this weekend and add you. Be sure to post an introduction.

Between Mother's Day and other commitments this weekend I was not able to update the table over the weekend. I will try to get to it during the week but it may be next weekend before I actually get time.

It is tomorrow, but some people have trouble following directions ;) . The weigh-ins date's are all irrelevant anyway since they all get put on the table no matter when you weigh in. So if the weigh in is on Tuesday and you want to weigh in on Monday or any other day, go for it.

      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.
