I go back to the doc tomorrow and I'll find out how much I weigh. I'm both excited AND really nervous...

How did it go?

WOOHOO! Under 200 lbs weighed in at 198 lbs today :*)

Congratulations! That is an awesome accomplishment. I'm a little sad I'm not there yet but happy that someone else from our surgery date made it :) I feel a little closer every day ... I'm OCD about weighing myself.

Not so great. I lost a disappointing 12.5lbs. :(

My doc thought it was just fine (35lbs since surgery) but I think it's too low.

Oh well, a loss is a loss I guess. I'm going to focus on getting all my Water in and get my fat butt on the recumbent bike consistently. Otherwise I'm doing everything by the book. SIGH.

Don't beat yourself up. That's a great weight loss! Think about what it was like before surgery. For me, it was never consistent. But now, every week I lose weight. Sometimes it's a lot; sometimes it's not...and sometimes I stay the same, but I don't gain. In the long run, it's not how fast you lose weight, it's just the fact that you lost it.

You'll get there. We all will. And in our own time.

Thank you so much! I had a great day yesterday. I was wearing size 22 pants and they were getting overly baggy so I went to buy a pair of 20s and found that I actually fit an 18 with a stretch waist!!! Yay!! :) You are right. I'll just embrace my own path. I really appreciate your words of encouragement.

I can't believe it. I've been saving a bunch of clothes thinking I won't be able to wear them for another 10 pounds. But I tried them on just now & I can wear them! In fact, three pair were too big! Best decision ever!

I am OCD too so I do not have a scale I only allow myself to visit hubby at work once a week and weigh in there.

Congratulations! That is an awesome accomplishment. I'm a little sad I'm not there yet but happy that someone else from our surgery date made it :) I feel a little closer every day ... I'm OCD about weighing myself.

      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.
