I was just calculating that out. I have 10 pounds to go to be just over weight. So that is my next goal. Almost there. :wacko:

WOOOO HOOOOOO!! Girl, you are one hot overweight chick!! My "next" goal was actually reached today. After losing 80 lbs, I finally weigh what my drivers license says I weigh. :P The next one is in 20 more pounds when I hit 220. That will be 100 lbs gone!!

I have 8.1 pounds to go before I get under 200 - which is exciting in and of itself and it will be the least I have weighed in about 25 years. I got close to the 200 mark about 8 years ago and then my body quit losing, I got frustrated, and started eating my way back to 300+ pounds. So this particular milestone is one I am both looking forward to and scared of. What if the same thing happens as last time and I just can't do it? Etc.

The last time I was this weight was when I almost died and couldn't eat for 3 months. This time around it's been a lot more fun to get to it! But like you, I'm now in new territory. The next landmark for me will be 175 lbs, which I can remember weighing 19 years ago!

Good news is, this time you will keep losing and you can't eat enough to gain back all the weight. Gotta keep the faith, right?

Congrats and welcome to the overweight club. I hope to stay here for the rest of my life. To reach the "normal" club I only need to lose 38 more pounds. Really? Where would it come from?

      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.
