Awesome Congrats!! This got me wondering how close I was so I looked up the tool at OH.com - you put in your weight at surgery day, your height and percentage you expect to lose. I put 65% since that is the common expected successful surgery WL goal.

I'm only 5 Lbs away from mine!!! Another reason to smile today.;)

YIKES! That BMI calculator produced the lowest weight yet at 169 pounds, that just doesn't seem possible. I haven't weighed that little since gade school and I was shorter. Neat tool but it seems a little on the extreme side.

Oh wow... that is too much. Mine came up automatically at 149 Lbs, which for me was only about 5 Lbs lighter than my maximum BMI chart weight. I don't even plan to get to 154 but to 165 - so if I'm counting by that I should be beyond the 65% which is even more excellent! It's all in the eyes of the beholder, and IMO the BMI charts really don't apply to me. I would have to go by another set of rules. Probably that big boned calculator you mentioned... LOL :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.
