I see my surgeon Fri and I'm kinda scared I havent done as well. I've lost 27lb and tomorrow is my 6 week mark. I've thought I was lower avg but today for whatever reason I have just been battling some serious blues. Feel I'm not progressing as much and just so tired all the time. My husband had foot surgery Fri and fell tonight ending back in the er. I've been worn out between hustling down hallways with patients all day and 2hr commute to work. My day seems to never end soon enough between cooking dinner and all the other things I think I barely have the time or energy for it must be done. Idk..just in a funky mood.

I think you're doing great. 27 lbs is good in 6 weeks if you ask me. Sorry for the funk. Seems like you are just plain overloaded! I couldn't imagine a 2 hr commute! Mine in 5 minutes if that. Hope things even out for you soon!

So we made it home after a night in the ER. I am taking tomorrow off as husb is gonna have to get in with his surgeon. I'm calling it a mental health day and gonna make him stay put and reduce the hopping around so no more crazy accidents. Thank Dorian :)

Im trying to set a personal goal for me.

I am going on vacation in the begining of August, so another 2 months.

I wanted to get to 208 before my vacation. Is this goal realistic? 26 pounds a month is about right.

Ive done amazing with my weight loss from surgery 6 weeks ago.. Its obviously going to slow down, but does this sound realistic?

Working my a** off!! Litterally.. lol ^_^

      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.
