100 lbs in that amt of time is really something... I didn't realize that would be possible... My Dr. says 1-2 lbs a week is normal... was that 100 lbs from the date of surgery or includes your pre-op diet?

I am just floored when I see those kind of numbers...makes me think I am doing something wrong..

Wow! Congratulations on all the good decisions and hard work to make this dream become a reality. I keep thinking about the weight like two big suitcases I'm going to be putting down -- it will be wonderful not to have to carry them around any more.

Hi!! :-)

I lost 20 lbs during the pre op diet, which in my case was 2 weeks, so basically 100 lbs since December 1st ish of last year. To be honest with you, I really don't know how it happened so fast...I exercised but nothing too crazy..I followed my instructions to the letter..and my clinic is very restrictive food wise, because basically no carbs are allowed except for steel cut oats and bran here and there....when I see the numbers though, I still don't believe it....my mind and my body are still very detached sometimes...I had dreamed for about a decade to lose 100 lbs, but I had no idea it would or could happen in less than a year...I know everybodys body is different..please don't be discouraged...I thought long and hard about whether to post this or not....and the only reason I did was to try to give people hope....because we are fighting the same battle, and I got alot of support from this forum, and wanted to pay it forward..don't give up...everything you dream is possible...you will reach your goal I promise!! :-)

      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.
