I'm 3 pounds away from losing 100 pounds. If anyone would have told me a mere four months ago I'd be saying this right now I would have told them they were crazy, but here I am. I still have a lot left to lose but I am only 6 pounds away from my halfway goal!

I'm can totally relate! I'm down 80 pounds since the start of my journey. Hard to wrap my brain around it. When I started I was in a size 26 and am now fitting in some size 18s. I feel like I am now living and not just existing. This has been one of the best decisions of my life even with the rough beginning. Congrats on your weight loss!

I'm having a lot of problems with this site. I can't access personal messenger. It says I don't have permission. I tried multiple times to send a help request and it won't go through. This is such a bummer bc this is such a great source of support. :(

      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.
