Hmm, I'll try this. I've been stuck at 166 for about a week now. I'll go for the 150 but I'm averaging 2.5# week so that may be ambitious.

Surgery weight 193

Challenge start weight 166 (10/19)

Todays weight 162.5 (10/31)

12.5# to Thanksgiving goal of 150

Love these challenges! I have goals for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years. I'll be revising the other two based on this one.

Pre-surgery Wt: 235.8

Surgery 7/9/12

Weight at Surgery: 208.5

Current Weight: 166.4 (bouncing around this week)

Challenge Goal: 155

Aggressive, but I've got a plan ;) For NSV, Water and Protein will be my focus. Also continuing to work out 6 days a week.

Good luck to us all!

I'm not sure what I'm going to strive for here. I am going to work on eating healthy with very little carbs and increasing my exercise to 4 times a week. :)

9/12

I FINALLY broke my stall (if this is any help). I upped my Fluid intake a good bit and started doing more intensive exercise where my heart rate was up for longer than 30 minutes by running one day and doing a fitness boot camp the next.

      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.
