FFNC, I can't believe how close our stats are. You are taller then me (I can tell by the BMI) but wow. I started out at 275 - 262.5 DOS 11/19 - and today 222.

BTW, I love your picture!

Yes I hope we are doing the right thing. Thanks worm. I haven't weighed in a while hoping there is a good loss but scared that there won't be. My husband says he thinks I'm losing inches so I guess that's a plus. I should have taken a before photo and measurements so I could see a change to let me know its working. Doubt the process sometimes. I go back in march. Cheers cheers for three months I hope it's my month!

I had to break up with the scale. I was at a stall for what seemed like forever and was stuck at 46lbs. Tomorrow I will reweigh myself and see if I have done better. Weighing myself became a drug and I was doing it everytime I passed it.

So I decided to jump on the scale today and it was GREAT news. 8 lbs lost! Woo! I'm so freakin happy right now that made my day. I feel like all the extra workouts that I have put in over the last two weeks was worth it. It has given me a reason to keep it up. I guess it's right what they say I will start week 12 on Monday so almost three months and they finally gave way again. I just hope I can keep producing a loss. I went to go see about going back to work after a little over a year out on medical leave. I hope I can get back in there I have been gone too long and it's time to get back to the business of being me. Go hard ladies and gents, it does pay off!

      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.
