The chart told me my medically ideal weight was 110 pounds! That seems very unrealistic to me but I guess I will have to wait and see what happens. It said the average was 131 pounds which seems more likely. It said my goal weight being 70% excess weight off would be 140 lbs but I am actually hoping for less than that more like 125 I think but I also realize that might change as I get closer and start seeing what these weights really look like on me.

Months* 1

This was shared on OH, and I found it beyond interesting.

Especially, for those that chart their loss, or those just beginning their journey. Plug in your numbers, hit "Create Report" and it spells everything out for you.

Do to copyright rules, I can't share my stats openly, but least to say, I am stoked by this report. Of course, my goal weight by my age, height, gender says 110lbs. So, it shows that I've only lost 85% of my excess weight. However, I'll take 85% loss. Plus, the average American female's weight in my age, and height bracket, is 137. I don't think I've ever been close to the "average" anything.

Tiff, where do you go first? Is it on our forum or somewhere else?

Just click on that hyperlink that says Months 1, it'll open a new window for you to input your own personal information. I think that's what you're asking.

Don't fear it told me the same weight for my age, height, and gender. I'll never see 110, and if I do, I'll be furious. Today, I'm weighing in at 127, and I'm actually trying to gain 3-5lbs. The average weight for American woman in my category is 137, and I feel good at 130-135 which is best for my frame and body type.

      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.
