Start by listing your Surgery date, surgery weight and current weight. Then figure out how many days you have until Thanksgiving and make a goal weight based on the number of lbs you are challenging yourself to lose between now and then. Update each week, probably on Thursdays as our final weigh in is a Thursday. Welcome to your first challenge!

I'm in! Sleeved on 9/25 -

Starting weight 306

Surgery day weight - 287

Current weight - 267

Would like to be 255 by thanksgiving.

I seem to be a slower loser and have already had a stall so I think 12 lbs. is doable

Not me, I am following dietary food plan so I can't change that. I exercise almost daily and am doing my best in that area, I am finding success this way so I will bow out. I also weigh myself only about once every 3 weeks, the numbers on the scale hold too much power for me. My m.o. Is....if the scale does not move I get so upset I eat. I know I can't eat now cause I would baurgh but the mind game that scale sends me to is crazy. I use tight clothes to keep myself in check, over the 3 weeks they get looser & looser. Good luck, you all will do great......

      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.
