I'm in too. I'm exactly 169 today. By Labor Day I would like to be 154. Hopefully this will be my next to last challenge. My next challenge is for October 27th. That is the day my husband and I will sort of renew our vows and get the sacrament of marriage in the church. I would like to be 134 at that time, but who knows? I will be 30 pounds lighter than when we first got married.

Is it possible to have a size 14 dress taken in to a size 6 or 8?

I'm 3 weeks out from surgery. Gallbladder and hernia repairs too, 4 surgeries in all. Hernia repairs were open surgery thru my caesarean scars. I'm not 'exercising' yet. (I LOVE exercise, so a bit disgruntled!)

I want in! BUT I'm not setting a weight goal. My sleeve is new. I want to set a co sustency goal:

1- use mfp every day

2- drink 2L Water every day

3- keep Protein above 60 g per day

I'm excited to see where consistently doing what I know works will get me over the next 46 days!

HW 118 kilos-- 260 lbs

SW 98 kilos-- 216 lbs

CW 92 kilos-- 202 lbs

I only weigh on Wednesday! (in australia-- aka Tuesday evening for u guys)

My Water intake M-F is about 64-96oz on weekends I must admit I slack off but still get in at least 48oz. Also I get in atleast 50-60g Protein daily as recommended by my surgeon.

I'd love to hear any suggestions

Wow! If you can lose 28 pounds in 8 weeks then you are already workin' it! I can lose 3.5 pounds in a week, but probably not sustain it through 8 weeks. How far out are you?

      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.
