Hey 2 lbs a week is awesome. My surgeon said that 2 lbs a week is what I should shoot to lose.

I have just started Water aerobics this summer. I love it. So give me 2 a week. Slow and steady wins the race. Hey it took me 25 years to gain it all so taking a year to lose it all.... okay, I guess i can be patient.

Plus I think about how good I feel now and how much more I can do. Heck going up the stairs without wanting to keel over at the top totally rocks. And I can even beat my hubby in the number of push ups I can do.

SW: 230

Current: 189

Lol, that's great!! I don't lose 2per week, but I try very hard!! My body says "not yet!" I feel so much lighter that it surprises me sometimes. I feel so much better physically and so much better emotionally. It's definitely been worth it :)

I'm a slow loser too, but I am consistently losibg 2lbs a week. Pre-op 233, SW 218, CW 184. Surgery date was 3/18.

I eat under 800 calories a day. Carbs are usually under 50 carbs sometimes less and ive had a few bad days where its been more. I work out 3-5 days a week my aversge is 4 and I burn 250-350 calories per session or more.

I don't know how to boost my loss. I just want to lose a consistent 10 mobth

I would love a consistent 10 per mo also. Like you, I need to know how to get a jumpstart !

I think you are on to something because when I have 1 or 2 Protein Shakes a day, I lose more weight compared to when I just have food only. I am starting to think that the extra Protein throws our body out of starvation mode. I don't know what else it could be ???

      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.
