Hey hey hey...

You are sweet. I was biking 2 weeks straight prior to surgery and only lost 5lbs. Hah! The band is playing a major role in this. I am 192lbs as of yesterday. I haven't weighted myself today and plan on weighing in tomorrow for Gone for Good Club weigh in. Did I pass you? I have no clue, your weight is not posted, just that you lost 49lbs, which is wonderful all in itself.

Muahhzzzzzzzz Melody!~ Were doing it!!!!!

Haha, I'm one step ahead of Alberto. I was in the gym working it up. The weather sucks here. Oh and my personal trainer said that biking was good for cardio and all but it does my whole body no justice. He said that biking tends to only workout my lowerbody and I should spend every cardio workout session, doing it all. Recommended the Elliptical or treadmill with my arms swinging. So no more bike rides, at least till the sun comes back out, like tomorrow :)

UGH!!! :) Anyway, went back after calling them and they took out 0.1 cc.....I had been filled the first time w/ 2.4 they took out 1.8 then they filled me 3cc!! I drank 6cups of water!!! Then they removed the 0.1cc and am still struggling w/ ANYTHING beyond hot broth!! I chewed up my Vitamin and it came back!! Anyway, I am resting w/ hot broths and hoping this settles down!!!!

Oh gosh Mel,

This just freaks me out. I can't even imagine feeling like that and trying to live with it. I'm really thinking about getting a fill but it's just a scary place for me. I hope you are ok and will continue to be ok. Wish I could hug you.

Where are you again in Florida? Would love to meet up with you guys. I'll drive :girl_hug:

      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.
