Lots of walking and exercising!In the mornings i drink a large glass of Carnation, lunch i eat chicken salad but usually just eat the chicken, and dinner i eat very small portions of usually chicken and vegetables.I snack on almonds all day.My weight started falling off the first 3 months,i lost 110lbs but it slowed quit abit.Now I'm losing about 1-2lbs every week.My doctor told me to walk 28 miles a week so i do and it works.

The real answer is muscle mass. We have a lot more muscle hence we naturally burn more calories.

You really should not try and compare to a man's weight loss. It's a set-up for heartbreak. They lose weight differently and quicker than women do.

      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.
