This will be my first challenge. I hope it's not too late to join. I'm going to adjust my goal according to the shortened time frame compared to if I started on Valentine's Day.

My starting weight: 232

Current weight: 198

Goal weight: 178

Goal to lose: 20

I am around 209 right now (before pre-op liquid diet I was 228). My goal from here is 99 lbs total weight loss. I am 5' 0" soooo a shorty! :)

Well, it's up to you. I'm sure you'll meet the goal if you set it high, but like you said you also don't want to push yourself. I think in the beginning your body is just doing whatever it wants because it's recovering from the shock of surgery. You will still lose a lot of weight, though.

Also, good luck! I hope you have a speedy recovery :)

Darn it - all week long I've been 145 and then this morning (on my weigh in day for this challenge) it's 146. Well, I'm using 145 and hopefully that pound was just a Fluid fluke this morning. If not, and it sticks around, I'll let you know next week.

      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.
