Soo, we're talking percentages so it should work just as well with kgs? 11.4/50*100 22.8%! Sounds way more impressive than 11.4 kgs.

Yes it does! I'd translate to lbs just because that sounds more than kgs anyway :P 25 lbs for you!

WHA.... are we counting our SW from when we seen the Dr. for the first time when we decided to have surgery or Surgery SW the day of surgery :) Because shoot I was 278 when I started this journey, Did my 3 month supervised diet then on to surgery. do they only consider you a success only with the weight you have lost after your surgery. Which I would think. But could be wrong??

girl, every pound lost counts. who cares how you lost it?

besides, the more you lose before the surgery, the slower you will likely lose immediately after so don't short change yourself.

I am counting mine from my highest weight, which is what I weighed at my very first pre-op appointment. Every single pound counts in my opinion.

      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.
