SW 5/21: 250

CW: 215

GW: 195!

To be in onederland would be awesome! Will be a little tough since I'm spending 10 days in south Africa working/playing in aug, and will be in Brazil at the end of the challenge doing the same. Anticipating a potential tough time!

I'm in! I didn't make my July 4th Challenge, but hopefully will make this one.

SW: 323

GW: 303 (20 lbs)

Also:

- Get back to drinking 100+ oz of Water daily. Lately, I've been only getting in 80 or so.

- Get back to exercising at least 3 days per week. I haven't been to the gym in weeks

Seeing Twoterville would be nice, but I don't want to be too ambitious. My annual family reunion is Labor Day weekend. One of my original goals was to have 100 lbs lost by then. Making this challenge will put me there. Good luck, everyone! WE GOT THIS!!

Do we weigh in once a week on a designated day or just on Labor day?

I think we said Mondays since Labor Day is on Monday the 3rd. It will only be once a week so tomorrow will be the first weigh in. Good luck everyone!

Also, it's not mandatory for this challenge to weigh in weekly so if you prefer every other week, every third week, or once a month it's up to you. This is a short first week so I'm sure some people may want to wait until the following week. Anything works as long as we encourage each other.

      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.
