286 today!! My official weigh-in at my post-op appt. I started this process on July 2nd at 336! I'm now at 286!! 50 lbs lost!! <3 I also bought my Halloween costume today! This is the first time I've ever fit in a plus sized women's costume!! I'm squeezing into a sailor girl costume and next year I'll do the same thing because October will be my bandiversary, so I wanted before/after to be Halloween costumes. I chose a sailor girl because my grandfather, who passed away a year ago, is a navy veteran, and he was always encouraging me to lose weight. :)

Went down, then up, then down, a bit. I'm roughly stuck at around 285.. I hope I don't climb back up.. :( I don't really know why I'm like that, but I'm just trying to heal right now anyways. I haven't had my first fill yet, I don't think I'm gonna panic. xP

WOOOOPS. I thought check in was the end of the month lol.

Currently at 261.2 so a loss of 6.4 so far!

I don't think I will get down to 245 by Oct 31st, that wasn't realistic. I'm hoping to be at 258 :)

Down another 2.8!

Weighed in at 258.4 this morning!!

Total loss so far 26.6 :D

      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.
