Yay! Almost there. Sounds like you'll likely be here before the year ends or even sooner. :)

My next goal is to be in the 180's. I'm at 193 now so I've got a little over three pounds to get there!

That shouldn't take very long should it? Unless of course the cursed stall hits. My next goal is to hit 175 because the last time I remember being there was 19 years ago. Ugh. So looking forward to that. I'm either 5-6 lbs away depending on what my too-honest, cheating, no-good, scale tells me.

I have been at a plateau for a few days now but I'm not worried about it. I've been sick with a bad cold and unable to exercise or get to the gym for a few days. Hoping to get back there tomorrow and back to walking so I'm sure it will start moving again.

Thank you so much! It feels quick right now but it is probably that I have been posting more about it. I have lost pretty steadily at least 1 kg per week, pretty much the whole journey so far. I'm so grateful for my sleeve. I'm about to be on the road for 3 weeks and I find that I lose really quickly when I travel, so we will see how that goes. I will be in India (Pune and Bangalore) and while I love the food, I find it hard to eat much and socialize, and I don't know all of my go-to foods in Indian cuisine, so I tend to accidentally fill up too quick. Especially if I attempt the naan, chapati, roti, or pulao. Or dry curries.

      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.
