I signed up for the march challenge. My starting weight was 311 my goal is 300. Today I weighed 305. With only 5 days to go would it be cheating to do a liquid diet to get to my goal?

Looks like it's plateau time :), I'm up to 170, but keep hovering between 169 and 170. But I'll admit my regular walking has not been consistent these last few weeks.

Down to 183.4. Looks like I am going to miss my goal of 182. Oh well.

On a positive note, I lost 6.4 pounds this month and am no longer considered obese!

Well, on Sunday I did hit my March goal of 221, which hit my milestone goal of losing 200 pounds.

However that same night ended up in the ER and was in the hospital until Wednesday. I had my gallbladder removed on Tuesday. During that time, I was pumped full of IV Fluid and my kidney function was decreased.

I am still very swollen with fluid retention today and no idea what I actually weigh right now. So... I'm just using the weight before I went into the hospital.

Starting weight: 228

Current: 221

Goal: 221

checking in this week at 237.2. Didn't make my goal of 235, but that's ok. I'm still down for the month. Slowly but surely I'll get there.

      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.
