Thanks!!! But I was under in impression that the more you weigh the more weight you lose.

Interesting question Jen and I don't know the answer. Did your doctor indicate that was the case? I wouldn't be surprised if folks with a higher BMI typically lose more weight over 12 - 18 months than someone with a little lower BMI. But I would be surprised if a higher BMI would also result in a faster weight loss - say on a weekly basis. Hmmmm...

My Dr said he figured I would get down to 150. Well I'm 156 so I think he did a pretty good job if estimating that one lol. I hope to keep losing but I pretty happy where I am at now:)

At this point I'm an open book so feel free to ask. I was wearing jeans between 20/22. Now I'm wearing size 10! I wear size medium shirts and I've even been shopping at victoria secret lately and can wear a medium in there underwear.

      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.
