Previous Short Term Goal Met: Loss of 75 lb within three months of surgery. New Goal Short Term Set: Be under 200lb by Christmas morning. This may prove difficult as Thanksgiving and Christmas are both holidays of yummy foods and beverage. I have 25lb (aprx 87,500 kcal) to work off and 59 days which equals 0.43 lb per day or aprx 1,450 kcal per day (through exercise and diet) to loose. When this goal is accomplished I will have lost at least 148lb from my highest weight and at least 101lb from pre-surgical weight. On December 31, 2012 a close friend challenged me to lose 100lb within one year and attend an annual hiking/camping event, which I declined to attend last year due to my lack of physical fitness. With the completion of my last goal and the setting of this new one I am on track to meet his challenge. I realize that fitness is not a function of weight loss alone but for me it is the first step. I even bought a new sleeping bag in preparation for the hiking trip. #movemoreeatless #nothingtastesasgoodasskinnyfeels #lessass #livelife #lessofaman

      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.
