:). I'm two weeks off from my surgiversary and this morning I weighed 189.9.

Broke 190 and that means I have lost an official hundred pounds since my surgery. It took a full year. I keep waiting for the stall that tells me I have to increase my exercise or cut calories, but it hasn't come yet. It's just gone very slowly since the fast fifty or so I lost last march. Back when I weighed 222 in November I thought it was over. Back when I weighed 209 in January, I thought it was over. When I weighed 222, I thought okay,, that's it, that's fine. Back when I weighed 209 I thought wait, what?

I want to break 160 and at 5'10" I'll be at GOAL, I think. And the best part is there won't be any fear in it. I'll know it's going to stay off, doing what I normally do, exercising at a level I can reasonably handle.

Thirty pounds to go. Can't imagine what it's going to be like to be thin again. But I'm not going to worry about it. I'm going to have a good summer :)

      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.
