Well I set a goal to loose 25 lbs before my 25 th bday in may well I'm so close .4 lbs away that's right .4 away 18 days post op so since my bday is 6 weeks away I pray .4 comes off lol small goals I feel will help me along the way, and since last yr in march I got down to 230 after I got really sick and was in hospital ( 280 and lost 50 in two weeks) that will be my next goal (241.4) now. Then it will be to get below 200 ( been over 5yrs). When you have 80+ lbs to loose I'm hoping this makes it seem easier ? Or wishful thinking.

No you're on the right track! I need to make a formal goal list. I have goals in my mind both weight and NSV's like getting in my Protein everyday or being confident in a bathing suit, but need to write them down! Congrats on hitting your first goal. The .4 will be off in the next day or two! lol!

I did this too!! But to be out of the 200 by my 40th and I did it this weekend with 15 days until the big 4-0-!!!!

I think smaller goals make the process so positive!!!

      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.
