Don't worry you will continue to move forward! I'm struggling too but a bit differently. I'm at 226-- lowest I've ever been in my adult life by about 25 lbs' date=' and I'm having a really hard time wrapping my head around the fact that I need to (and will) lose more. My goal is 175, so I've got a good way to go. But I don't even recognize myself. All my friends, co workers- all who are very supportive and so happy for me- think I look great, but they are seeing me like I've never been as well. I have to really believe and know that I am NOT DONE YET! I need to keep losing and get to my goal. I am so grateful for this forum and knowing I'm not alone.[/quote']

I agree that this forum is great! I know the people here rely understand.

We can do this!

How many ounces are you guys eating in a serving? I am still only able to get about 3 maybe 3.5 ounces in during a meal. I measure and weigh all my meals. Is this pretty average to the rest of june surgeries?

I ear between 2.5 and 3ish.

I agree!!! I don't know what I would do if I hadn't found this site!! It is one of the first things I recommend to anybody looking to have RNY. Although, I think I especially lucked out with the June group. This group ROCKS!!!

I am so frustrated! I have been stuck at 209 for about 3 weeks. This is the weight I have been at before and could never get below. I gave up after a few months and gained it all back and more. I am so afraid I will give up. :(

oh my goodness! I'm stuck at 209 too! you are not alone!

I'm celebrating little victories...

Friday was homecoming and I was a chaperon. A former student who I have spent a lot of time with asked her sister who the new teacher with short blonde hair and glasses was.... it was me!!! lol Mind you I shared a cabin on the senior cruise with this young lady last spring. LOL so that was exciting... and then yesterday I went shopping at Old Navy for MYSELF for the first time ever! Bought a cute little dress in a size XL :) happy dance here!

I go for my 3 month check up tomorrow... was really hoping to be in onderland, but I'll be happy at my 209 even though I'm sure it'll be a little more since it is in the afternoon and not first thing in the morning. I'll get there soon!

It's a super feeling to buy something, even an XL in a normal store.

I love this idea! Wonderful. I work for a shelter that house survivors of domestic violence and I know how important community is.

Well done. Great way to go!

      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.
