Well, I am in a 3 + week stall, so not sure if I'm going to lose the 12 lbs I thought I would when I first started this post. I thought I'd get to 173 by Valentine's Day from 185. BUT, so far only 2 of those lbs came off!! GOTTA LOVE stalls LOL!! Keep on keeping on for everyone though, cause either way, WE are amazing!! :)

Update...1/29

Major stall...been back & forth for 3 weeks now. Very frustrating but I'll just keep going!!! I haven't been this low in almost 20 years.... I think my body is fighting me a little bit.

2.5 weeks left so I'll keep my fingers crossed.

HW = 278

SW (7-17) = 267.6

CW = 200

GW = 195

Still 5 more pounds to go!!!!

      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.
