New Years Day Challenge (I only weigh in on Thursday's so final WI would Actually be 1/3 but close enough!) I am hoping to loose 15lbs from today's weight of 253.6 (11/15/12). This goal would put me at 238.6, a weight loss total of 64.4 :)

(Okay, so typing the numbers out was extremely humiliating- so much so that I cried. Am I alone in how ashamed I am? This is an awful feeling- especially when so many others are so very small in comparison! It feels hopeless!)

It is NOT hopeless by any measure. None of us were where we wanted to be weight-wise and this seemed hopeless to us. But now we're rockin' our sleeve and making progress every month. If you haven't already done so, take your measurements now. I really wish I had done that early on. Also take some pictures or graph your numbers. The progress will astound you and keep you pumped. So don't cry, sweetie. Congratulate yourself on having made this awesome decision and commit yourself to making it work. You've already amazed me and there will be much more to celebrate!

      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.
