You will. It all happened in the first 6 months. I'm at 8 1/2 months and can't seem to lose any more. Which is fine...if I am maintain here I will be very happy. But I'd like to lose a few more to have a good range (135-140). It's MUCH harder now.

Because we are at a lower starting weight we tend to lose slower. I take in all my Water and more- but my main tip is staying away from bread, crackers, Pasta, etc. until you meet your goal weight. It hasn't been easy, but I feel I would be heavier right now if I was eating those things. I get in at least 75 grams of Protein and between 800 to 1000 calories.

Do you also work out a lot? Is it possible to meet goal weight without hating my life at the gym?

Honestly, I have three kiddos ages 2,3, and 4 that keep me on my feet all day. But as far as actual exercise- I run 15 minutes every other day on the treadmill. I used to do 30 minutes walking but over time can get the same distance and get my heart rate up when I do 15 on the treadmill at an incline. I don't go to the gym. Not in the budget I am still losing very steadily.

It's really inspiring to hear of the success other low BMI sleevers! I am 5'6", 217 lbs with a BMI of 35. My goal is to get down to 145, even if it takes more time. I'm working on getting in better shape for the surgery and beyond with beginning workouts on a recumbent bike and elliptical trainer (just started this weekend). It's going to get hot here in Vegas soon so having this equipment at the house will be my "no excuses" method to get exercise while keeping hydrated. Uh...that and going up and down the stairs in my 3-story house. My daughter even works out with me so I have a home-gym buddy. Bring on May 17th!!

      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.
