WOW......70 pounds is fantastic. You did not give us much into as to how much you wanted to lose total but I would be jumping for joy at 70 pounds. I am still on my way and still losing but have a ways to go to hit the 70. I know all of the other times that I have lost a lot of weight I have still seen myself as fat and being overweight. I know that when I would shop for clothes I will still go to the big mens section as I just could not quite grasp the thought of being able to fit into regular sized clothes. Even when catching a glimpse of myself in a glass window I would not quite grasp that it was me. That is your mind playing games with you and it take a while for you to accept the changes in your body. I do not weight very often but I thought the other day that I looked like I had gained some weight so I got the scale out and low and behold I had actually lost another 3 pounds. Do not give up and be proud of your amazing accomplishments.

You should measure your waist, chest, calves, and arms. Those shrinking numbers can keep you motivated when the scale isn't showing you what you want. Just keep going and you'll see the results you want!

It has taken me 10 months to lose 64 lbs but I am so excited for every pound lost. It sounds like you are doing great. Stay positive and keep doing what you are doing because it obviously is working!

You have to make goals. Fitting in a certain size, being able to run for so long, that kind of thing. Achievable goals. That way when you reach them, you will feel like you lost the weight. By the way 70 is awesome. WTG!

      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.
