Great news, congratulations!! I'm expecting to get to a BMI of 29 any day now, so I'll be overweight and not obese anymore!

My sleeve sister!! I was wondering where you've been!! I knew y'all had been traveling a little. I cannot believe I'm almost there. Actually, as of this morning, I'm only 1.5 lbs from my surgeon's goal. I guess that is what I should change my 'goal' to and then go from there, anything after that is icing on the cake....MY real goal was to wear a size 8 and I'm doing that!! :) Such vanity!! LOL You'll catch up very soon, but it's a way of life, not a race to the finish line! Enjoy the journey!! Keep me posted!!

We took some time out and went up to France for a couple of weeks....and then had family over for a few days, but now have an empty house again ( and a mountain of washing!!).

I'm not up to date with the posts yet so suspect you may have hit your target by now.... but you're doing great!! My sister in law was amazed at my weight loss....and although I think I may be able to lose a little quicker, I'm happy taking the scenic route - gives me a chance to try and let my body catch up with me!! :rolleyes:

And as for your size 8?? - amazing!! Well done!!!

      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.
