I have been struggling with 9 lbs for over 7 weeks to get to onederland. I finally dropped 2. I have not been in the 100's for 43 years. Yes I am old but not dead yet LOL. Tell me your secret to get there. I know the basics. By the way YAH for you. What an accomplishment.

Well I was stuck at 205 for about a month and I started to really concentrate on my Water and Protein and I started to go to the gym for an hour every other day. I made sure I drank 32oz of Water and believe it or not 24oz of Protein that totaled 50g. I know some surgeon diets consist of toast or crackers, I chose to stay away from that.. Hope this helps..

      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.
