I had a big milestone today...I have officially lost 101 lbs since surgery! That makes 140 lbs from my highest weight!

Life is really starting to fall in place for me and I am happier than I've ever been. I hope everyone is having the same positive results from surgery, and not just in weight lost, but in all our non-scale victories too!

Heck yea! life is sweeter than any treat i can think of. Congratulations on the scale victory but more so on the off scale victories.....you rock!

Have a great day :-)

Hi, June 19th SW 203 CW 138 I was stalled forever! I log everything. I finally tried the 2 days of Protein Shakes only and lost 2 lbs over night. Trying to get to 125. I'm 5'1. XXL and 18/20 sizes to M and 6/8 pants depending on brand. Ignore my bedroom mess! I buy new clothes weekly and throw out stuff daily! It's never clean! Lol

My personal goal is 135, I'm at 156 now, you look amazing...I'm in a size 8 now, my goal is a size 6...wow, I'm discussing sizes, coming from a size 18/20. Thank you Jesus.

I couldn't agree with you more!! I have three pounds to go until I hit 100 pounds since surgery. When I hit, it will be 139 pound weight loss since April. I said in my Christmas letter this year that for the first time I really feel like I have the tools to make this work. That feeling is SO liberating!!

Reading all these posts makes me nervous for my 6 month appointment next week. Don't get me wrong... I feel great! I am nervous that my surgeon may say I haven't lost enough. Everyone on this June group seems to have lost so much more than I have. I am around 70 pounds lost. Should I be at 100 already? Again... So nervous!

Hi All,

I had my 6 mo appt last Thursday at Carolinas Weight Management in Charlotte, NC! I have lost 60lbs since my surgery on 6/10/13. While that isn't as much as I would have liked, I am pleased. I've hit a plateau...again...but that's OK. I still make incremental drops. I figure if I keep it slow and steady, I'll win the race regardless. :laughs: Since I made the decision in January, as of today, I have lost 92.2lbs. I'll take it!

To quote Grandpa Duck.. I'm Happy, Happy, Happy!

ttfn,

Rhyz

      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.
