Anyone suffering from forgetfulness?

I am not sure if you changed the color of your font, but I can't read your posts unless I highlight them

This weekend was my daughter's wedding! It was so beautiful!! I saw people that I hadn't seen since before my surgery and they were blown away!!! I met a lady who had the bypass 6 years ago. She lost 60 pounds and has gained 20 back...she inspired me to make sure that is not what I do!!! Here is a picture of my husband & I walking our daughter down the aisle...I think we all look great!!!

Great job! what a beautiful photo of all of you (the bride is definitely her mother's daughter...she looks lovely too!). Congratulations...I'm sure this was a great feeling! Your dress is perfect. Looks like my kind of wedding--casual elegance!

I think I'm in a weight-loss stall. Lost a little, .4 this week and last week too. Very frustrating as I'm so close to reaching the 60lbs milestone. Aaaasaargh!!! I've been working out a bit more than I was but it's pretty sporadic. The big problem is that I feel hungry now a lot more than I did a month ago. I want to eat and I am struggling with that urge. Sometimes it's definitely emotional but sometimes I just feel hungry, dammit!!! I having a hard time staying at 1200 calories and it keeps creeping up. I thought this surgery would make the constant hunger go away! Feeling frustrated and discouraged at the moment.

Just wondering how many calories everyone is now consuming and what everyone is eating???? I am taking in about 900-1000 calories a day and eating just about anything except Pasta and some bread products. Still losing weight and working out at least 3 days a week.

I am eating between 800-1100. My nut said shoot for 800-900 buy I haven't been keeping it that low. DOS 2/20/13 and have lost 32 lbs since surgery. Need to cut back and concentrate even more on Protein protein protein.

I think 2-3 lbs/week is average or slightly above average if you are at least a couple of months out. Do you exercise also?

No, I don't exercise at all. But, I'm starting at the hospital as a Registered Nurse and will be on my feet, soon, 12 hours three times a week. So that will be plenty of exercise! I noticed during clinicals I lost a lot more weight as well because I was on my feet for 36 hours/week. So, hopefully my weight loss will go faster.

      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.
