I know how to everyone else it would seem ridiculous, but one of my biggest goals was to hit a BMI under 30. Today I finally hit that and after 5 months of working my butt off, it sure is nice to just be overweight.

I have gone down 13 bmi in 5 months? anyone know if that is good, too slow or just about on par?

It's amazing, but if it is average or not (or what is average on here), or safe, I am not sure.

That is a wonderful goal for you! I'm glad you have made it. That said, don't worry about wether or not you're keeping up with others. That will just end up bringing you down if you don't feel like you are measuring up. Be proud of your successes and all the goals you are tacking on to your "sleeve". ;)

Best wishes!!

      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.
