That is FANTASTIC. I cannot begin to imagine what it would feel like to lose 50 pounds in 2 months... You are an inspiration. Keep up the good work. I am assuming the inches are all over? Are you doing any particular exercises to get those inches off, or is it just the weightloss? I hope to schedule my surgery in the next 2 weeks.

Congrats!

Thanks everyone !!! It has not been easy. I struggled the first 5 weeks horribly with craving. I developed diverticulitis and constant heartburn but I keep going forward. I just want to say never give up. I was 400 lbs pre- op and every painful moment is worth having the energy to play with my kids and enjoying the little things in life. :)

      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.
