juliah, I hope you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!! :-) I hope you get your teaching job! Please keep us posted on how that goes.

Dais, I agree with mp... I think you might be ready for some circuit training. That really does work it out! I'm personally still trying to get back to my pre-surgery form. I'm pulling in an hour a day but only about 3-4 days per week. I'd like to get it back up to 6 days per week.

Myself, I'm a little bummed the weekend is already over. My family has made their way back home to LA and the house is quiet yet again. I gained a half pound this weekend!!! :blink: Whoopss!!! It could just be the normal ups and downs of the scale. I don't usually check myself on the weekend, so I'm not sure. Either way, it won't hurt to make sure I'm back on track 100%!!! Okay, it's back to life. Actually as of today - but since I'm back at work tomorrow I can really make sure I'm having a perfect day.

I just don't know how much damage I can do only being able to eat a few bites of this or that. However, my body is not used to eating a whole lot of carbs, which regrettably I did eat for Thanksgiving. Not even a smidge as much as I would have before, but still... I did eat them. Aaannyyway, I just need to own it and GET RIGHT!!!!

I bought some Levi's in size 8. Yes, my goal pants. They were on sale for half off at Kohls so how could I resist. They are totally adorable... AND SO TINY!!! I'm in 18's fully now and most 16's. I even fit a pair of 14's but I think those are a fluke... lol - but still!! Being that I started in 28's, it's safe to say I'm halfway there. Whooot!!! :)

Globetrotter you should get your thyroids tested, if your thyroids aren't working as they should that could slow down your weight loss big time :(

I had my thyroid tested 2 years ago and they said I was on the high side of normal, that yes someday it might turn into Hashimotos. They cannot do thyroid testing out here, I believe, but I will check again.

As for how I'm doing today, that's easy: if the scale shows a loss, then it's a good day. If it doesn't, then it isn't. Today it didn't.

      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.
