Today is my 11 month surgiversary. I am at a place I never dreamed I would be but still have a ways to go. The last 3 months have been a wash for me. No gain but very little loss. I am trying to be focused, logging my food, cutting out the carbs and getting in my Proteins. I have set a modest goal for this challenge but would like to experience a success as the Halloween and Christmas challenges weren't a success in terms of getting to goal but as a social worker being strength based, were a success in terms of not gaining during this time either.

Hi all, I will update my full post later, the cut and paste isn't working for me tonight. Just a quick check in to let you know I'm at 142.8 this week. Just 7.8 lbs. to goal. So I'm down 1.4 lbs this week.

Start: 144.2--Current: 142.8--Goal: 135

I fell short of my Christmas goal but still lost over 6 lbs. for the month of December, which I am very happy with considering how slow my weight loss has been the last several months. In 2012 I will definitely hit my final goal weight, and by Valentine's Day I should be within striking distance of that goal! I have to admit how amazed I am by these numbers that y'all have been putting up -- by comparison I am a slow loser (though I try not to focus on that and instead focus on how far I've come).

Surgery weight: 224.5 (1/7/11)

Current weight: 146.4

Valentines goal weight: 139

Final goal weight: 132

My one week check in. I did quite well this week, but have been on all liquids to kick start my stall. I moved from the Obese BMI category to the Overweight category.

10# to get to goal as of this week.

Surgery weight: 271

Starting V-Day Challenge weight: 179

Current weight: 170

Valentines goal weight: 160

Final goal weight: 135

I'm in!!! I have a habit of setting the bar a little too high as well, but like you Forensikchick it tends to make me work harder. Plus, I bought my ticket to go see my friend in Germany at the end of March and I really want to rock this sleeve!

I'm making an aggressive goal of having lost almost another 20 pounds by February 14th. I was losing about 4-5 pounds a week prior to Christmas, so I think I can do this if I get back on track (I've enjoyed the holidays a little too much).

Surgery Weight: 350 lbs

Current Weight: 225 lbs

      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.
