Sleeved 8/28

Start of the program I was 231

Pre-op I was 221.

This morning I was 200! WooHoo!. So I'm averaging about 3 lbs per week

Next week this time I should break the 200 mark.

Also My BMI is 39 which means I am no longer Morbidly Obese. I'll take it., That's a victory in my book.

Doing better with foods. Some days are better than others. Fluids is my challenge. If I can get 40oz , I'm having a good day

I'm having trouble with liquids also. Somewhere on here a gal actually wrote her Water or "liquid" schedule down....she had it to an art. My problem is remembering to drink at the appropriate times. Then suddenly its time to eat and I have to wait again....only to forget again! Silly but important because we don't want to become dehydrated..

Btw... my surgery was 8/21

So... 2 months since surgery

Surgery weight 296

Weight today 253

Total loss to date 43 pounds gone forever!

I downloaded this app called Waterlogged. Has helped me tremendously keep track of my Water intake. I'm a freak and ridiculously competitive (with myself) that it forces me to hit my 100% goal everyday LOL. Good luck!

Ok so those are my before surgery early in the year, (feb) then the 3 pic is before surgery 1 month out then 2 months out and the last pic is my 1 month vs 2 and 1/2 months out.. I'm actually pretty shocked that my 2 month and 2 and 1/2 months out pics look so different.. In general it's crazy to see such change! But exciting too!!

Started at 292 in February this year started seeing the nutritionist in late feb. did all the requirements for Aetna and had surgery 8/12/13. Day of surgery weight was 264 and today I weigh 237.5 ( those half pounds count!)

Inches melt away faster than lbs! I'm really happy with my results so far and looking forward to continued success

Great job! You look fantastic!

Keep up the good work!!!

      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.
