Ok so finally had surgery yesterday so I can join in the fun!

Highest weight 268.6

Surgery weight 228.9

Goal weight 218.0

I have no idea how fast or slow I'm going to lose right away' date=' so I'm just picking a good number.

So I'm already down to 209.2 so with 8 days to go, I would like to get down to 204. I'm losing fairly slowly so don't want to shoot for the moon.[/quote']

I just came from my pcp office. With my denim jeans on (I would have dressed in my scrubs if I had known I was getting weighed today lol) I weighed 209.6 on my scale before I get dressed I was down to 206.8 this morning. Now if I can make it to onederland by the end of the month I will be so happy! Congrats to all of us!

Congratulations to everyone who made their goals and everyone who tried. Working toward the goal is a big accomplishment too. I know I weight so much less than I did last Valentine's day and who knows where I'll be a year from now. I didn't make my goal, still 8 lbs off. What's the next challenge? Any ideas?

Made my goal of 175 a few days ago. Now, I'm down to losing these last 20 pounds. Hopefelly it will get me into size 10/12 jeans. Very frustrated to be stuck in size 14s.

I'm a little late reporting my results. My goal was 151. I had a freaking 4 week stall!!!!

So my weigh in for Vday was 156 lbs. I did still loose, but nothing like I have in the past.

But ..its ok!!! I feel amazing and am very happy. Looking forward to the next challenge.

Well better late then never. Finally hit my Valentine's Day goal on 2/23!!!

My major stall broke and dropping at a faster pace again. It is completely surreal for me to continue to see a "1" at the beginning of my weight!!!

On to the Spring challenge!!!

HW = 278

SW (7-17) = 267.6

CW = 195

GW = 195 :-)

      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.
