I was just thinking about our little group and thinking I should post something - glad you posted notime!!

How's everyone doing? Maybe we should all check in with our weight loss, inches lost, calorie and/or Fluid intake, exercise, etc., or whatever else we can think of to see where we are at since we just passed our 16-week mark?? I'll do it but gotta get it all together first...

does anyone else have just a single narrow column now for our posts? I don't have this anywhere else on the forum just our group.

I went on vacation for five days and lost five pounds. That, after a two month stall.

I'm here. How is the gallbladder problem? I hope you haven't gotten into the pain stage. You have a heap of responsibilities and duties, is all going well? I think about you and your situation often.

I am starting with a personal trainer and have been doing some hiking at a beautiful state park. I'm not able to hike very far and the personal trainer will be shocked at how out of shape I am, but I have to start somewhere. What are all of you doing for exercise?

Hi everyone! I'm still here too. I'm so disappointed in myself. I joined the health club and haven't been in a few weeks. I am trying to talk myself into going tomorrow. I don't know what my problem is. Weight loss is super slow too. I'm hanging in there though and don't care how slow I lose, I know I will get there. I can't figure out why I have this narrow column now either! Does everyone have it?

You'll get there, Joni. I have a narrow column, too. It doesn't really bother me though.

im doing ok with the gallbladder, surgery is scheduled for sept 10. Really dreading another surgery. Im basically just walking a lot for exercise, I am ready to join the gym but it would be a waste of money to join this month because of the upcoming surgery. The only local gym we have has a 6 month contract so Im just going to wait until im healed from this surgery to join.

Kellie, I'm glad things have settled down a little at home and the surgery will soon be behind you. Gall bladder surgery was nothing when I had it done. You will do well. Keep us informed.

I dropped to 199 today. Still losing, but not as fast as I would like and certainly not as fast as many others. I suppose I should only look at my own weight and be glad the trend is downward. Guess I'm a turtle.

      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.
