So glad for you Cathy!

I'm fasting today. So happy I am, I gained almost two pounds this weekend, has to be stress, I did some crap eating as well, but never over calories, so hopefully I can get back on track this week. Went on a lovely 2 1/2 hour bird watching hike yesterday... working on the stress!

Okay update time:

Start date:

July 16, 2013

Today's date:

September 17, 2013

So basically 2 months of fasting 2x a week has netted me an

-11lb loss

Not sure if it will "stick" today as yesterday was a "fast" day and of course hopped on the scale today to see another lb gone. Hoping it wasn't a phantom weight...we'll see if it says the same tomorrow. LOL. Anyway, for the last 3-4 weeks I've seen this number once but it didnt' stick around. Now that I've seen it twice, I'm hoping it sticks.

Start date: 11 June 13

Start weight: 168

today, 17th Sept 160lb

So minus 8lbs in 3mths; including a school trip to Spain and 2 weeks all inclusive family holiday. Also, remembering that I was stuck for 20+mths before! So, even though it is really slow, there is movement... and if my calculations are right, by Xmas I will (hopefully) be at my surgeon's goal... that would be an awesome pressie!

      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.
