And also are you all exercising or just eating right? I am trying to fit exercise in but its hard between work and kids and their sports. lol. If so, what type of exercise do you do, how frequent and how intense?

I do exercise. I typically work out 4-5 days a week. My workout generally consists of about 25-30 minutes on the eliptical and i usually walk 1-2 miles per day no matter what. I need to do better about adding in weight training and situps but those things are very difficult for me. Once you start its hard to stop exercising because its sort of like therapy. I know your busy but make the time for yourself! IT will help with your weight loss and help you lose it in the right places. I also use my fitness pal to track all my exercise and calories. I shoot for 1100 per day and ill admit there are quite a few days where I eat most of my exercise calories. Some day ill probably have to stop that but for now I am pretty active and im losing on average of 3 lbs a week with some weeks worse or better than others :) good luck to you its sure a lifestyle change and a wild roller coaster ride.

I will be honest I have only change my eating habits a little. More so in the beginning. I just eat way less and don't eat out as much. However, I do work out! I haven't been doing as much weight training since I started the C25K program, but did a lot in the beginning (after being cleared to work out of course). But it works for me. I have never seen a gain on the scale. Even days when I was certain I would. I am in no way promoting this as I know I should probably stick closer to the diet, but this is what is working for me.

Personally, I am eating right no junk no refined sugars low carbs I am also working out daily 40-60 minutes of cardio and weight training every other day

      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.
