Still Here

So I'm still here. Sorry to be so scarce lately. I've been a little depressed and super busy. I just haven't been losing the way I had hoped and still struggling with weight gain when I have my TOM. Sucks! No worries though, I'm not giving up. (LOL like I have that choice.) I did get my second fill but it doesn't seem to be nearly enough. Plan on getting another one soon and hopefully that will put me into the full swing weight loss that I see everyone else on. Maybe by Christmas I'll be at goal.

It is good to see everyone else doing so well. Keep up the good work! It is inspiring to see your numbers drop.

Be well, be happy, and hugs to all,

Julz~

Julz,

I'm a little weird, it seems right before my TOM is when I finally drop a couple of lbs! I know it is not normal but neither am I. I was scheduled for a follow up with my surgical PA yesterday but he was called in for surgery so I rescheduled for October. I still haven't had a fill yet, I was thinking I needed one but I'm not so sure. I haven't been following the rules very well lately so I need to get back on track!

Guess it just proves even if we all have the same goal in mind, we are all very different.

111 lbs lost is incredible! I'm sure you'll hit your goal before you know 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.
